375ml from a friend's cellar. bought on release. Nice light gold color. Pungent. Rich and long. A bit of botrytis in evidence. My friend says it's almost a beerenauslese. Great flavor and acidity. Really a wonderful bottle of wine that was gone too quickly.

One guest prefers low alcohol, this does the trick. Not super sweet, peach and tropical fruit with some ginger and petrol. A later sip has a distinct flavor of those orange jelly candies, which sounds terrible but I actually enjoyed. B+

A typical Wednesday evening in Sydney: 7.2% alcohol. There is a light note of kerosene to start things off, along with some pungent floral notes, orange peel and peach. It is perhaps slightly more sweet than I expected but it isn't at all a problem as the balance is excellent. Fantastic carry and it leaves a sensation of both finesse and outright pure fruited deliciousness. Showing really well now but will continue to change and should be a fascinating wine over the next 10 years I think.
