Simply elegant. A rich golden hue confirms extended barrel aging, the nose suggests a strong core of fruit, with buttery edges wrapped in lemon meringue. Mouth watering, structured, stoney – classic.
Reviews:
"...significant weight and richness, intensity without heaviness, and a wonderful range of non-primary aromas and flavours mainly in the honey-roasted orchard fruit, crème brulée, toasted barley and baked apple crumble spectrum. The palate is almost thick and mouth coating, yet an underlying streak of acidity and scouring minerality tidy up the finish. Excellent length and depth... I’d say this will age comfortably until the end of the decade." Score: 92 points
John Szabo, Winealign, June 2012
"Unfiltered – deep straw colour; undergrowth, spicy oak, baked apple nose; soft on the palate, almost velvety, poised and elegant with peachy-melon flavours – a seamless wine. Score: 90"
