This has lovely rich fruit lines pepped up with intense citrus notes and softer shades of firm peach. It is juicy with great, creamy depth, riper peach builds on the palate more, with a lovely broad finish. A fantastic M...(read more)

Very inviting ripe nose, Meyer lemon with a zesty touch. Touch of peachiness, but not overripe in any way. Some florality, white blossom. Nice feel, gently creamy but great mineral line of acidity, like a squeeze of lemo...(read more)
