Monday, March 25, 2024 - {screwcap, 12.5%} Deep yellow with a golden hint. Intense nose and palate of rockmelon, paw-paw, vanilla bean (not oak though), all shot through with a kind of sandy steeliness. Quite a mixture of youth and experience, if you like. I'd call this full-bodied for a white wine, still with medium acidity which comes through on the finish, plenty of overt fruit in development. Rich in aging fruit, but always dry, and with a savoury, crisp finish. Quite a heavy hitter, with a medium long finish. This is very impressive at a dozen years, and for a wine that was sub-$15 on release.
