"Aromas and flavours of peach and grapefruit, there’s a creamy texture quality and hints of vanilla, apple and natural fruit spice, a hint of wood smoke and mineral. Dry, balanced and well made with classic flavours, a youthful acid line and length. Best drinking from late 2025 through 2028+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

"It's elegantly lifted on the nose, showing ripe peach, rockmelon, Gala apple, and almond characters with a hint of vanilla. The palate offers ripe fruit flavours with smooth mouthfeel and juicy acidity, finishing silky and supple. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2025
