  Light straw colour - belies its age. Struck flint. High acid. Fine tannins. Tight. Stonefruit. Will continue to age very well. Drink now to 2028.

  First Wednesday Wine Club (Napoli in Bocca, Haberfield): Served blind.
  butter, toast, peach over lemon, very slight struck match, sweet spice. Juicy, fleshy, lemon over peach on the palate, slight butter. Nice.
  I knew this was mine.

  NobleRottersSydney - meant to be Grange (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): [Aaron] {screwcap, 12.5%} Very light colour still even at seven years. Polished oak nose, a touch of matchstick, grapefruit, cool mango. The palate tastes of classy French oak-laced fruit, all wearing cool-climate clothes. Cedar grain adds tightness to the texture, with medium acid, medium/full weight; the structure dominates the fruit, even after seven years. Medium length finish, even palate; promises much development to come. Has an aura of quality about it. But wait a while.

  Apricot, buttery, toasted nuts tending to marzipan. Very rich nose. More of the same on the palate but perhaps a little light on acidity and bit too much oak. Not too good at this price point

  Reserve BIN 12A - großes, edles Bouquet, cremig, lang anhaltend fruchtig und nuanciert im Finish. Kann mit großen Meursault-Weinen mithalten. Strong recommendation!
