Aromas are of poached pear, apple and buttercream. The palate is full bodied with a lovely juiciness to the orchard fruit, wonderful balance of ripeness and acidity. This gives baked apple, fresh golden apple, cooked pear and citrus with the lightest touch of vanilla. The wine doesn't seem oaky, but texturally, it's rounded and fleshy. With a deftness, it stays lifted and invites you to the next sip.
