  Root to Fruit Day - Pale gold in the glass. Nose is ripe apple, pear, white flowers and just a touch of caramel. On the palate the flavours are pineapple, ripe peach, lime and apple with medium body and medium plus acidity. The finish showcases the white flowers, lime (expressed as zest) and apple/pear. It’s complex, tasty and interesting. Who could ask for more? Delicious but definitely a drink now. With suubsequent sips and oxygen exposure the caramel comes out more.

  Fruit to Root day- Found in the cellar. Dark lemon in the glass. Nose is really enjoyable - white flowers, apple, citrus, and a touch of butterscotch and popcorn. On the palate there’s lots of bright acidity (medium plus) with rich mouthfilling flavours of pear, apple, white flowers, toffee and butterscotch. Delicious!! The long finish has wonderful spice, apple and pear components to it along with the acidity that cleanses the palate. Absolutely en pointe tonight.

  Leaf Day - pours light gold into the glass. Nose of stewed apricots, baked apple, spice, minerality, and lemon pie. On the palate it’s very rich with baked apple, toffee, canned pineapple, salinity and a nice hit of minerality. There’s lovely acidity that cleanses the palate from all the richness but leaves a flavour of baked apple and tropical fruit along with some lemon and smoke (BBQ lemon slices) on the long finish. Delicious and still very vibrant although fully mature. Drink now. Pistachio crusted halibut was an excellent match.

  Nose of pear and toffee. Medium weight. Decent acidity on the finish. Not complex, but nicely balanced.

  Root Day - light gold in colour. Aromas of baked apple, toffee, caramel, and brioche. Flavours of baked apple, citrus, brioche and cloves. Finish is medium+ in length with some bright cleansing acidity along with the apple/citric flavours. This is delicious and not showing any detriment at all at what should be an advanced age. Enjoyed with salt and vinegar chips crusted halibut - a terrific match.
