    Distinct aromas of buttered popcorn add an irresistible savoury note that lies atop ripe and rich aromas of grapefruit, lemon blossom, pear, and honeydew melon. Crème brûlée, custard apples, lime curd, and caramel add a luscious layer supported by elegant oak use contributing toast and spice. Soft stone fruit and sweet citrus unfurl upon the palate with a mouth filling weightiness and persistence of flavour that is balanced with a crisp, yet subtle acidity. The interplay of texture, flavour, and acidity is guided to a drying oak driven finish with delectable toasty and nutty tones that linger along with glimmers of peach skins and cinnamon quills.

    Award:

    Spicy, buttery and nougat aromas, showing lots of artifact including oak, although time in oak was shortened this year. On the palate, very elegant, fine, a wine of delicacy and perhaps lighter body than usual for this label, but the fruit needs time to re-surface. Better in a year, I suspect.

    Attractive nose of flint, pear, white apricot, grapefruit and buttered sourdough. Medium to full body with creamy, flavorful layers. All in balance, with a long, classy finish.
