Fully mature.
Tropical nose. Creamy texture and tropical notes continue on the palate. Quite soft overall and frsheness is just hanging on, rich though with good intensity. Slightly green, pithy finish which adds some character.
Good wine but...
Drink now, this will only fade from now on.

Great nose, quite pronounced. Lemon, minerality, some lime in the background. Petrol notes developing. Clean and not oily.
Palate is bone dry with laser like acidity that carries and holds onto the long long finish. Fruit is pure citrus with perhaps some nut (almond or cashew maybe) and although the acidity is high, it has softened and makes the mouthfeel rounder.
Moreish.
In a really good place. Enjoy.

Wow, just wow.
This could just be a perfect wine for me. It’s in such a good place with typical Aussie fruit with a load of savoury, persistent (yet subtle not brash) leathery notes.
The structure is immense and reflects the low yields and delicate touch. This dances around the palate and is pure pleasure.
