A lot like the 2018 summer this wine is straight out of the blocks, abundant and lifted with ripe stone fruit and layers of complexity. Juicy ripe peaches and nectarines straight from the tree and the faint hint of orchard dust on a warm afternoon. Heady, idyllic and sentimental all at the same time. Buried deep behind all of this is a very delicate floral Muscat note which is from the 809 clone.
There is a glide to the entry, but some real texture through the mid to finish which keeps the wine structured and persistent. The exit is textured and perhaps even a little staunch at the moment, but that gives presence and power, like Meursault. The acidity is completely woven into the core of the wine giving a subtle resonance.
This wine will drink best over the next 36 months and should be on the table with crustaceans, Blue Swimmer Crab Linguine or a Scampi Cassoulet for the cooler months.
