Touching 14%. Now racked to tank. Will be fined and then bottled at the end of the year. Mid lemon in colour. The bouquet has weight and density, a broad-based orchard fruit, not especially floral. The sunny side of Folatières, but no signs of over ripe fruit. Quite firm acidity behind, the oak showing at the moment, needs to tighten up which the fining will do. Somewhat of a chunky style but good in that direction. Just a little bit of warmth at the finish.
