Full of potential, the refined 2020 vintage (5*) was grown in a single vineyard at Roys Hill (not la collina). Bright, light lemon/green, it is fresh and elegant, with strong, youthful, citrusy, peachy flavours, showing excellent delicacy and vigour, a subtle seasoning of oak, good acid spine and a lasting finish. Best drinking 2024+.
