Upside down pineapple cake, baked peaches and lemon butter. A hint of jasmine flowers and bee pollen. Fruit is decidedly ripe with pure notes of orchard fruit and golden rays of citrus. A uniform line of acidity takes this vintage into another level of exquisiteness, a very complete and harmonious wine. Some sugared almonds and hazelnut skin bitterness on the finish. This is drinking well now and will flow into its savoury and nutty self with more time in the cellar, say 3-5 years further. Serve this with a creamy chicken, artichoke and leek pie and you’ll sleep soundly, floating on a food and wine pairing cloud.
