A nice wine but more full-bodied in its maturity than I had expected - it was certainly a bit "heavy" alongside a Cloudy Bay 2011. More tropically fruited with a good finish

Lovely wine but a little atypical example of the variety - yes there is some grassy acidity but there is also a tropical element of guava and lemongrass - a firm feel in the mouth, just slightly hot with the alcohol but a lovely length to the finish

Drinking this was possibly infanticide - the mineral core currently dominates the fruit but the acidity was balanced so big hopes for the future - I will try again in a couple of years

Last bottle, possibly a bit past it but still an interesting and enjoyable wine

Has matured fully so drink up a lovely wine with perfect balance between rich tropical fruits and lemongrass acidity
