Drinking Window: 2017 - 2026
An intoxicating nose of dried fruits and toast, enhanced by notes of white peach and vanilla flower, mirrors the rich style and evolved character found on the palate. In the mouth, it exhibits the richness of the heatwave vintage, seamless and concentrated with broad fruit yet retains mineral freshness and uplifting acidity to allow for a long, bright finish.
