Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 1, 2018 - Dinner for Wayne and Hannah ('96 and '02 Burgs, '82 Lagune etc): A blend of 90% Viura and 10% Malvasia. I was keen to try this Gran Reserva Blanco and I, with everyone at the dinner, was really impressed by this wine. Amber colour, showing some development at the rim. A gorgeous nose of mixed nuts, grapefruit, honey and butterscotch with hints of tropical fruit. On palate, surprisingly young and fresh. Not at all oxidative. Lovely tactile mouthfeel. Flavourful with lots of detail. Caramel, lemon toffee, vanilla, citrus and exotic fruits. Real breadth across the palate. Great volume. Quite long. Returning to it at the end of the night, very good with the cheeses.
