A pretty, perfumed and finely detailed nose of sweet citrus and apple blossoms, apple gums, donut peach, honeydew, honeyed cashew, white pepper, dried galangal and gently woven spice.
In the mouth it’s tightly coiled, tense and shaped like a Barracuda; streamlined, slender, precisely proportioned and powerfully poised. A concentrated drive of pure fruit and subtle spice flavours echo the nose, charged by tense grapefruit-like acidity and textured dry with tight grained sappy tannins. It moves fast, effortlessly and glides straight down the centre of the palate. There’s a wonderful waltz between standoff-ish intensity, and endearing elegance that I adore and it ends over an incredibly long tail that hums with ginger, lemon, lime, a touch of apricot and spice. An awesome release that’s to hit the market soon enough.
