Bright, light to medium yellow/green colour. Restrained, waxy aromas, attractive toasted nut and faintly smoky nuances. Refined and restrained all-round, delicate and light on its feet. Possibly has some alcohol warmth. Has spring-watery lightness and delicacy. Lovely wine.

Bin 05A. A superfine, elegant, understated style; many inputs including barrel fermentation, lees stirring and mlf, but the end result is a message of restraint; needs and will repay further time in bottle.
