This is delicious! Good honeysuckle, melon and peach fruit on the nose with some chipped granite to add a bit more interest. It smells like it has some density, but it's not at all heavy.
That's reflected on the palate as well. Great floral fruit with a weight and density to it but kept ethereally winsome by very good acidity, a loads of chipped rock and a brilliant savoury character that grabs the edges of one's palate. It's umami-tastic!
That savoury feeling is enhanced by a grind of fresh pepper on the finish that is, like the rest of the finish I suppose, highly engaging.
It has poise, restraint and structure, all underpinned by good fruit, solid acidity and a complex melange of rock, pepper and umami/savoury charm. Just lovely!
This would be fabulous with #sushi and smoked trout.
