Relatively prominent wood fights somewhat with the otherwise pure nose of green fruit, pear liqueur, iodine and sea breeze aromas. There is excellent power to the rich, intense and focused big-bodied flavours that possess a lovely sense of energy on the textured and palate coating finish that is borderline rustic. Here the bitter lemon aspect that arises on the finish is more pronounced and it's worth noting that this is sufficiently structured to require at least some patience.
