"Light greenish-yellow, with silver highlights; a lively, fine, flinty mousse. Nuances of ripe, yellow tropical fruit, a hint of apple, and pineapple is underpinned by a pleasant minerality and gently roasted hazelnuts. Taut, fresh, well-structured, tight-knit palate dominated by citrus fruits - very seductive and easy to drink, with a salty-limestone finish. One of the best non-vintages at a top price-performance ratio."
