Despite the age of this museum release of “Contours,” from Pewsey Vale's oldest, coolest slopes, it's just in its teenage years, with the potential of many more years of cellaring. Pale gold in hue, it's gained secondary notes like lighter fluid, lemon oil, lime leaf and wild herbal undertones, but there's also a fresh floral note still present. The palate is tightly wound and chalky-textured with crisp acidity and a pleasing bitter herbal finish. Drink now–2028 at least.
