On the palate, notes of Honeycrisp apple lead a well-focused palate punctuated by a burst of fresh guava. Mineral-driven, vibrant acidity accented with a flaky sea salt-like crunchiness is interlaced with a delicate creamy yet firmly structured texture. The finish is pure and clean with good tension and energy through the lingering, expressively juicy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e93 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eVery clean and bright white with sliced apples, ripe pears and crushed stone undertones.
