The wine is clear and bright with a deep lemon colour. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of green fruit (green apple, pear), stone fruit (peaches), bottle age (nutty, honey) and herbaceous notes (fennel). The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium acidity. It has a high warm alcohol and a full body. It has pronounced intensity aromas of green fruit (green apple, pear), stone fruit (peaches), bottle age (nutty, honey) and herbaceous notes (fennel). The finish is long.
It is a very good quality wine. It has a lingering finish and a remarkable fruit concentration that balances the high alcohol. It also shows some degree of complexity provided by bottle ageing, fruity and herbaceous aromas, however it is not complex enough to consider it outstanding.
Can drink now, but it has enough fruit concentration and some acidity to continue developing tertiary aromas over the next 2-3 years.

At OCF Singapore. Honey and apricots with a oily-ish texture. Some floral overtones with a streak of minerality. Has developed nicely but still relatively bright and should be able to hold for a few more years.
