Fresh, ripe, and open, with a medium-high intensity nose of pear, apple, buttery, vanilla, and some florality with a sense of elegance. The medium+ bodied palate is dry and crunchy with very nice, balanced replays on the flavour profile. Touches of spice on the mid-palate, along clean and fresh acidity. Hints of bubblegum adds further interest. Long, well-balanced finish. Tasted May 2025. Score: 91+ pts
