BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford: Green-gold. Typical aromatic profile for the site: lean, green fruits; sap and sinew; a little crème fraîche. Taut and elegant. Fresh, green citrus (more lime than lemon), with clean, scything concentration. Toward the end of the palate, the fruit sweetens toward candied orange. Attractive, true, frank, fresh, with the artless straightforward juiciness of the vintage providing plenty of drinkability. 15.5
