Rocking and rolling eleven years post-vintage. This is the eight bottle out of a case I've drunk since release. The flavor profile is rounding out nicely and early sweetness tempering. It went great with some very lightly spiced Indian food. So much goodness for a wine costing $25 on release.

Generally aligned with Will Devize’s 6/13/20 note: has some attractive flavor elements but doesn’t totally leap off the palate. We purchased at the winery in 2010.

Concentrated tropical fruit, tinned rather than fresh. Some good slatey moments on the attack. Very tasty and extremely easy to drink. Nice evolution with a bit of waxy wool showing but this is still mainly primary. Could just do with a little more lift.

Apple, white flower, melon and a little beeswax coming through on the nose. Rich and round, honey and lemon, the acidity still there but in the background with richer fruit now the fore. Beautiful with a marinated pork stir fry. Lingering.
