Canteloupe, watermelon, caramel, and apple peel on the nose. The apple continues into the palate with some notes of tangerine and geranium on the soft palate. This wine needs tons of time - maybe 10 years?

More open & exposed than I would have expected. Youthful shine or global warming?

Has about ten more years on it.....probably more. Loads of lime and super tart Granny Smith fruit. Some of that Chenin straw as well as waifs of chamomile, all underlined by a straight forward, cut through anything, minerality. A very nice, wine indeed.
