The palate is beautifully juicy, fruity and offers softness, freshness, fine tension, accuracy, a tangy frame and minerality. It expresses notes of juicy/pulpy kumquat, ripe lemon and more slightly – bright/juicy yellow peach, associated with touches of grapefruit, bright yellow berries, as well as almost toasted almond, buttery and yellow flower hints. Good length, delicious, juicy, pulpy, just the right amount of fat, roundness and a nice stretched side, delicacy in its fat. A subtle almost iodized hint in the background. Smoothness in freshness.
