THE MONEY SPIDER 2018

The nose is floral and expressive with orange blossom and honeysuckle alongside exotic tropical flavours of green melon and fig, with a hint of glace ginger in the background. Initially the palate is fresh and tight with lemon and lime characters dominating. It opens to ripe apple, white stone fruits and creamy pine nuts, filling the mouth with complexity. The palate has good weight with lively acidity and mineral notes lingering. With some bottle age it will open up and reveal further complexity and will cellar well for the next 4 to 6 years where interesting notes of honey, camomile, yellow peach and mixed nuts will emerge.
