July 7, 2020 - Mid jasmine-yellow
Pleasant tones of peach slices, roasted nuts and nectarines in fruit juice. Some lees add further intrigue.
A fleshy entry packed with fruit balanced by vibrant acidity. Plenty of juicy peach halves, nectarine, glazed honey nuts and ripe lemon/lime. Great concentration in the mid-palate; this is a very appealing and drinkable dry wine with all the fruit core and acid balance. -

June 28, 2018 - Last bottle of a wonderful case and perhaps now the wine is starting to show its age but still very pleasurable to drink. I move onto 2015.

February 11, 2018 - Stilll pale, bright and youthful, no signs of age. In fact, better than ever. Should cellar well for another 3 to 5 years.
