Description
- French oak
- Citrus lemon
- Toasted hazelnut
- Concentrated
"It's beautifully fruited and enticing on the nose showing nectarine, lemon peel, nougat and roasted cashew characters with a hint of flinty overtone. The concentrated palate delivers excellent weight and textured mouthfeel, brilliantly structured by juicy acidity, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2022
"Aromas of fresh yellow and white peach, citrus flesh and baking spices of toasty oak. New, fresh and nicely complex. On the palate a satin cream touch with citrus and a light zesty spice then flavours that reflect the bouquet. The oak layers in evenly adding texture and flavour, weight and complexity. Overall a tasty ready to drink example with freshness, variety and palate appeal. Also, very good food wine option. Best drinking from 20203 through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2023

Good value as the standard was reflective of the pricing. Fullish body with good finish.
