August 9, 2020 - Our last bottle of the 2012 vintage. Pale gold in colour. Peach and melon aromas on the nose with stone fruits, toast and that lovely rich, buttery texture on the palate giving the wine lots of body. Very pure with the acidity providing great balance to the fruit and body of this wine. Medium finish. Fantastic with our BBQ on a hot summer's day.

May 11, 2020 - Pale lemon in colour. Very fresh on the nose with lychee, peach and melon aromas as well as a touch of toast. Stone fruits, toast and a lovely rich, buttery texture on the palate giving the wine lots of body. The richness is well balanced by the acidity and there is a lovely purity to this wine. Medium finish.
For an eight year old wine this is so fresh and alive yet holds so much promise for the future. I would guess that in five years it will be even better and in ten years it will be absolutely stunning. -

November 2, 2019 - Top drawer, both in terms of nose and palate! This has developed really nicely already and I suspect there is some more to come. Great character and complexity and an excellent QPR.
