Fragrance: Delicately perfumed on the nose, with aromas of acacia honey, yellow apple, pear, and thyme with a savory undertone. 
Taste: Smooth and well-balanced, with ripe yellow fruit and marine nuances of sea breeze and bittersweet coastal herbs that linger beautifully on the salty, well-rounded, and long finish.

What Ian D'Agata says about this talented duo: Nothing more to add really, except that these two young guys at Bentu strike me as being quite the talented pair. I look forward to following their wines in the years to come. And speaking, writing, frankly, you probably should too.
