March 18, 2024 - Cue those steel drums, 'cause it's TROPICAL! Peach, pineapple, orange, ripe ripe mango, bordering on smoothie territory. But it's fresh, not at all syrupy, with well-integrated oak, vanilla bits, but not dominant. More or less Chenin Blanc how I like it.

January 30, 2024 - Pretty ripe on the nose. Oak not verybwell integrated and it overpowers the fruit. Ripe peach, citrus, wax and some wool. Butter, butterscotch, Vanilla, vanilla and butterscotch... and vanilla. Not a fan, but understand it speaks to a broader audience.

January 6, 2024 - Pretty much on a par with other vintages. The same peach, melon, tropical fruits with juicy citrus acidity developing in the glass. OK, but, early on, I got a hint of the ‘unripe honeydew melon’ which we tasted on the late palate with some previous vintages. This did clear as it opened, though. Still good value on offer.
Half a bottle was kept in the fridge overnight and was better next day.
