  Fine-boned stone fruit, yeast, sweet licks, a saline lick, good acid and spicy oak. Minerally-quartz on the finish, which is fair.
  A Consistent producer.

  Very good to excellent on day two with air. It's lean and mean and high acid on day one. A day with air the stone fruit and citrus really shine and tie in with spice. Medium bodied, the slightest tropicals (rock melon) and toast bring to a slightly creamy, spicy oak, bitter grapefruit and ginger finish. Very good to excellent. Drink now to 3 years.

  A month off; 12/10/2022-1/5/2023 (Dubai Sydney Canberra): Light yellow, flashes of green. Aroma of peach, melting butter, lemon curd. Delicious smack in the mouth of peaches, custard, rancid nuts and a touch of smoke. Gorgeous. Long life ahead.

  Very young, the acidity (chatters note) is yet to lose its sharp edge and the oak hiding a bit too much at this early stage. Wait 12 months and look again. Good quality and example, but needs time.

  CellarDoor TWE Tasting (Langham Hotel, Kent Street, Sydney): Muted peach and polished oak, a little sweet spice, and a very slight struck match note. In the mouth it’s quite sharp and tangy on the palate, a little too sour for me. Nah
