  Broad blousy nose and palate. Buttery and full. Developing fast,. Drink up while still nice, in a in your face way.

  Note sure why the other reviewer gave such a poor rating but this is a good wine that I think needs a bit more time. The wonderful 2015 is one of the best Australian white wines I have ever had (and I'm on my 60's) and this wine was a step down, though shows promise. Nose is full of citrus and nuts, some spicy oak and tropical characters, with similar flavours on the palate. It is rather tightly wound and took some time in the glass to reveal depth and complexity. Keep a few years and re-try, though it is a nice wine now without the heights of the 2015.
