  Pale honey yellow, lustrous.
  Lanolin, crushed herbs, honeysuckle, lemon zest. Strong flavours, leads with spice and honey, some nice crushed herb notes, citrus peel, ripe melons, honeysuckle. Ripe fleshy finish, more rounded mouthfeel, drinks nicely now but a few years extra will help.

  Brought by Duncan Ash when Duncan and Kate came for dinner - and drank with them. Fantastic wine - dry but rich peachy taste; long finish; not oxidised at all.

  Toasted nuts and maybe fresh lime (aware not an aroma often associated with the appellation). It was suggested to me fresh rain, which is very accurate. Also quite intense hay. On the palette, cooked yellow fruit and baking spices, with pithy bitterness too. The spiciness increased with time in the glass to great effect.

  Opened an hour in advance. Medium gold in the glass. This comes across as a little more restrained stylistically than some of its counterparts. There’s toasted hazelnuts, petrichor, dried hay, blanched almonds, white peach, and orange oil. Concentration, board, and long. Excellent.

  This is so good right now! Slight oxidised, caramel notes and a great bead of bitterness to balance the smooth, rich fruit. Very good!
