A light straw colour with green hues. Delicate florals with spice, ripe citrus and perfumed with bath powder. Pure and persistent with a textural finish that showcases the subregion's minerality and slate characteristics.
Good fragrance and flavour, green apple in with citrus, an attractive chalky feel, length good too, but the acidity on the finish is a little too coarse and takes the edge off (or puts it on), an otherwise excellent wine. Minor quibble. Good drinking and good value.
