Nose

Tense and austere despite some malty sherried notes. Lightly floral, slightly green and grassy with nut (young Hunter Valley Semillon) roasted almond and hint of sappy sawn timber.

Palate

Subtle dryness with light seashore aromas, moss and some sherry slickness mid-palate. Lean.

Finish

Decent weight if a little short.

Comment

A good Teaninich, austere, grassy yet with an extra dimension.
