"The wine is instantly appealing on the nose showing poached pear, ripe stone fruit, rockmelon and floral characters, which lead to a fruit-expressive palate that is ripe and rounded, and finishes beautifully long and silky. It is pristine and inviting, and delectable to the finish. At its best: now to 2018" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2016

This wonderfully perfumed wine has aromas of antique rose, lychee, white peaches and exotic spices. The succulent and richly textured palate reveals intense stonefurits, quince and freshly cut root ginger. The finish is long and delicately poised with a hint of acidity to balance a mourish, succulent and silky finish.
