Candied sweetness rolls out of the glass, pulling a string of fruit & herbs behind it: apples, pears, muscat grapes & tarragon. The sweetness is syrupy but tempered by grape notes & floral touches: meadow grass & flowers. Much drier than the nose suggests, with the sweetness pushed to one side & well-balanced orchard fruit leaping to the fore. Soft herbs float around a core of apple, with dry white wine & a hint of tartness providing a contrast. Long & dry, with apple skin & bittersweet flesh fading to reveal grapes & leafy green herbs.
