Decanted and served immediately at 58F. Rich golden toward amber straw colour with an understated and ever-so-mildly oxidized nose of ripe guava, orange peel, peach, persimmon, wet rocks and a touch of honeycomb. A medium+ bodied palate with creamy stone fruits and spice dominating. Long, clean and layered finish. The last glass was the best, but still, this is slightly past its peak. Drink thru 2014, 14,0% abv, approx $23. Recommended +

New Year's Eve 2006/7 (my place): Enjoyed this a touch better than the last time I had it - none of the funky notes. Fairly straightforward, but quite enjoyable.

Mmm, good stuff!! Just a tiny touch of pink in the golden yellow. Great minerality, very dry, lots of structure. Terrific wine. Drink now.

2nd time I have had this wine. Less enthralled this time around. Petrol and lemon notes. 87 points.
