Tasting note
Pale straw with incandescent avocado hues. Aromas of freshly cut limes and granny smith apples are complimented by freshly ground aromatic spices. A controlled expression of flavour. Preserved lemon rind and refreshing acidity is balanced with barely apparent barrel ferment characters such as creamy nougat and blue cheese.
The modern-day Yattarna palate blueprint is well covered - tight and fine, linear and defined. A mesh of lemon and lime fruits fused with a smattering of brioche and a roasted nuttiness. A decant or vigorous swirl in the glass reveals sensitive use of stylish French oak and batonnage artifact….a suggestion of nougat, and a flash of lanolin. Temptation awaits. Whilst immediately inviting and eminently drinkable…counter-balanced by latent charm and yet-to-be revealed complexities that only time in bottle can deliver.
