Fruit from the Lyons, Kokako and Keltern vineyards, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.
C....good straw, alcoholic legs.
N....lots of peaches and cream, soft oak.
T....a steely essence, powerful core. White nectarines, peach, a Foodie style. Possibly too much wood at this stage, maybe? Finishes off-dry. Big wine, too young at moment, needs to calm down, acid very fresh, enough potential here for fruit to mellow into a real crowd-pleaser by, say, 2019.
VFM....pretty good. Don't touch until 2018/19.
