Floral and cheesy/leesy on the nose this also shows off wonderfully fresh lemon fruit. Firm and super clean on the palate, this is clear as a bell with fine pithy lemon fruit over gentle but well-delineated almond, wildflower and citrusy flavors. This really pops on the finish where the flavors gain height in the mouth and depth. The finish is really quite long and driven by the fine citrus fruit here. A wine with a distinct purity about it. 93pts
