The nose is layered and immediately expressive — yellow nectarine, chalk, and a savoury edge of brine, wrapped in nougat, pastry, and gentle toasty oak. The palate delivers on the promise: a plush, silky texture carrying flavours of ripe stone fruit, fig, chamomile, and crème anglaise, all underpinned by a chalky, biscuity structure and a spine of measured acidity that keeps the wine from ever tipping into excess. Long, resonant, and impressively persistent through the finish.
