Blind tasting, decanted 1/2 hour. Peaches, apricots and kiwi with a healthy dose of vanilla but retaining freshness. A lovely nose which got me excited but this was short-lived as the palate was watery and lacking acidity with a heavy shot of alcohol which made my nose burn. It tasted better on the third night after being vacuum pumped. Tastes sweet enough to have some residual sugar.

Pale gold; powerful, spicey, tropical fruit overtones, fulsome; intense, oaky, with fruit to match, refreshing though still tight, flavoursome. A couple of years should see this peak.

not a huge nose, but pretty intense full body. interesting tropical nose, but a bit heavy on the oak for me. should pair well with food.
