  Alentejo Trip; 6/3/2018-6/8/2018: Deep gold color. Aromas of orange peel, apricot, deep honey and nougat. Creamy and plump on the palate with orange marmalade, rich honey, graham crackers, almond. Notes of sea salt and buttered biscuits. Richer than the 2016 style but well done and balanced nicely. Delish. I’m impressed by how well this aged.

  The full-bodied wine was intense yellow-gold in colour and offered ripe stone fruit, ripe tropical fruit, tangerine, lots of oak, crème brûlée, lots of vanilla, oak spice, macadamia nuts and herbal anise on the nose and palate, with a creamy mouthfeel and very good length. The alcohol (14.5% ABV) was well in check. I liked this 2011 better than the 2009; it was still dominated by ripeness and oak, but seemed less over the top. My parents in law loved it.

  One of the best white wines I've ever had. The balance and complexity here was perfect.

  A medium bodied wine, with orchard fruits and floral notes. A bit of a herbal/grassy note is detected, with a crisp, clean finish. Not particularly long, but a good overall value.
