Very interesting wine that needed quite some time in the glass to show itself. A mix of unusual grapes including 50% muscatel. It's quite smooth and elegant with a fine bead of acidity and a developing, tingly complexity. It really grew on me...

Interesting

Great to try this after a bunch of Palmer reds. Medium golden in the glass. Bit of reduction at first, but not overpowering in any sense. Aromas of lemon curd, peach, nectarine, orange blossom, nettle. Medium-bodied with a bright, high acidity and long finish. Touch of salinity in there as well. Good stuff, really well-made, but would I be paying $300+ for this. Nah mate.

This needs about an hour in the glass to open up. I would have guessed sauv blanc. This is extremely light and well balanced with a nice finish. This is a wine meant to be drank poolside or with sushi. Supply and demand dictates a high price but arguably this might be justified. Such a unique wine. This is already in its prime but will easily drink well for 5 more years.
