Primary fruit leads the charge here, though in a subdued manner. Ripe nectarine, white peach, ripe lemon, baked apple. There’s a whisper of cinnamon and nutmeg in support, along with a touch of much needed mineral cut. Good burst of fruit notes of the same ilk through the palate, cleaned up by some subtle pithy phenolics and citrus laced acidity. Quite fruit forward in its style, though with a nice assertion of structure to rein it in.
