  April 6, 2024 - First night pnp and not that impressive, people not liking too much. Left half bottle in the fridge and finished after 1 week and surprise surprise this became a different wine, so much better! We all liked it. Decanting for hours is suggested!

  January 5, 2024 - Lovely unctious smooth oily texture with all the dried fruit flavours you would expect. A slight acidic lift on the swallow. Very good length

  August 29, 2023 - This pours deep gold in the glass. The nose is immediately expressive and complex showing tangerine peel, ripe peach, a touch of mango, a whiff of vanilla, white mushroom botrytis notes, earthy moss, and candied lemon peel. The palate is well balanced entering on the ripe peach with a creamy mango mid-palate, balanced against medium plus acid. The finish closes harmoniously on candied lemon peel. Just absolutely singing, I loved this bottle from top to bottom.
