Mike Bennie - Halliday's Wine Companion

An earlier-drinking offering, though cellaring would likewise be prudent and pleasing. Juicy in texture with crisp edges and a peaky, zesty finish that trails off with lemon-lime while upfront, quite distinctly talc-soaked apple juice characters are abundant. Generous perfume, more floral, frangipani and lemon blossom with faint yeasty-bread dough notes in tow. While driven with a bristling acid profile, there's a fruit-driven purity and prettiness here.
