This has a good core of fruit with an underlying power that will unravel with time in the bottle. Aromas of lemon confit, oak spices, vanilla and pastry. The rounded, phenolic palate is cut with a bright line of acidity, leading to a generous, concentrated finish.

Ripe and punchy aromas of fresh apple, Meyer lemon, thyme, and white flowers blossom on the nose of this wine. The palate brings a wave of tropical citrus acidity and flavors of pineapple, apricot, toasted almond, lemon balm, and ginger across a generous but acid-driven finale.

Bold and spicy, with notes of cardamom, nutmeg and gingersnap that complement the vibrant, mouthwatering core of citrus, with lemon sorbet, citron, lemon confit and tangerine flavors, plus hints of lemon blossoms on the finish.
