There’s great value again this vintage. A bit aromatically reserved, with youthful peppery notes plus mild lime and green apricot. Light bodied (nine per cent alcohol), zesty and a touch spritzy, which deflects the sweetness. The real surprise—and what boosts its rating—is the fine acid-sugar balance and very good length.
