A top wine from a top Yarra Valley vintage. Aromas of cool climate, pristine fruit on show, all bright and lemony, white spring flowers flowing with quince and almond bread. A mere youngster but a precocious one of surprising depth. You can imagine some smart, future bottle development lies ahead. Stony, slatey acidity is a driver, brisk and clean. Tight coils of lemon, grapefruit, green apple, lemon drop and almond appear in unison with a developing textural mouthfeel. Lemon verbena with a whisper of wild savoury notes kicking in, enliven the finish. Clean cut, precise and classic in style.
