Aromas of green apple, typical pear and even poached spiced pear with some citrus highlights tossed in the mix.
All these characteristics came together well on the palate delivering crisp flavours and well capped off with an impressive length. However, once the glass warmed a little it tightened and demonstrated a mouth warmth which detracted from what came before. The lesson here, keep it chilled!
Drink with a warm pumpkin and pancetta salad. I did. Yum.
