Green fruit aromas, with hints of torrefaction taking over from the patisserie notes. Some aged flavours and a pleasant, perfumed twist of fruit at the end. Simple and agreeable now but not a keeper.

Unsophisticated but correct. An agreeable level of sweetness compensates for the quite brisk acidity, without being too cloying. At its peak now.

Fresh and vibrant, with some red berry fruit and a touch of white peach.
