Brilliant gold colour. Nose starts out quite strongly kerosene, opening out with toasty caramel and toffee notes. Great evolution of flavours as it opened out over time. Very full bodied, transitions through citrus lime-dominant to a greater emphasis on dry heat and very full and lingering mouthfeel (almost like a light whisky in its mouthfeel through the mid and back of the palate). Tasted over 90 minutes, this wine was excellent at every point, but what lifts it to outstanding is the way it has evolved in the glass.

Nose: lime City with slight petrol (only a hint but still very nice) Palate: zippy citrusy, lime with slight sweetness, no petrol palate at all. Still a long way to go. Nice
