Deep golden in the glass. Big oak, big energy, but not breaking over itself. Notes of roasted pineapple, apricot, peach, canned lychee, brioche, vanilla. Full-bodied, loads of density from the fruit, all brought together by the judicious oak. This doesn't hit you all at once, but more as a slow burn. Lovely wine that I'd love to drink several more times and show all my friends. Can the 2010 quality be repeated here? Let's wait a few years and see, I'm highly confident.

Australia Trade Tasting (Lindley Hall, Royal Horticultural Halls): Big nose, buttery, ripe tropical fruit, lime, palate is smooth, easy drinking, again buttery, nice texture, nutty, proper high end wine
