  Its been about 9 months since I had a bottle of this and the continued development in that time has been amazing. We drank it with a range of seafood on the BBQ which paired really well and brought out a real range of flavours in the wine. I was impressed with the fruit flavours ranging from citrus to peach to even a touch of tropical. There is body in the mouth from the lees ageing and oak ageing. Why pay through the nose for Burgundy white when you can have this at a significant discount!

  Very oak influenced, manages restraint while still trying to be big in style? If such a thing is possible, maybe only in English wines.
