  A nose of lychee, honey and glimpses of petrochemical. Sweet and viscous, balanced perfectly with lively acidity. Seems to have long ageing potential.

  Decanted for 3-4 hours before drinking and then consumed over two days. Wow. This explodes with a wonderful array of tropical and stone fruit, honey, white flowers, lime, and lemon drops. Brilliantly big on the palate. There is a fair amount of residual sugar here, but it’s totally enveloped in a citrusy minerality. Absolutely seamless across the palate. A little viscous and very long. Lip smackingly beautiful. Better the second day. Drink now, or hold for as long as you trust the cork!

  Pineapple, honey, floral, spices and a mix of additional white/yellow tropical fruit notes on the nose. Between medium and full bodied (8% ABV) with simply spectacular depth and fantastic complexity. There are distinct notes of pineapple, orange and peach, but they are a shifting mix of white and yellow fruit in character and they come along with numerous other tropical hints peeking through. In addition to depth, there's tremendous richness through the middle rather than overt sweetness. Amazingly, this level of richness is easily supported by the intense, vibrant acidity and the tart orange and lemon notes that come in on the backside as the wine warms. This is one of those wines that you really want to sit back, sip and enjoy over several hours because each sip is slightly different and as the wine warms (from maybe 48F to 52 or 53F) and opens up, complexity and nuance become even more pronounced. The only problem is, it's so good, it always gone far too quickly. Based on the acidity, mid-body depth and general fruit profile, this wine has years ahead of it and I'll certainly need to track down some more.

  Some smoky mineral reduction, then she’s all powdered lime. It’s like a vinous Fruit Tingle in the mouth. There’s the perfect amount of sweetness countered by ripping acidity. Fabulous intensity and length.

  From magnum.
  
  When PnP, it tastes like mango syrup, and is almost cloying.
  
  After a few hours of aeration, layers of peach, lime, lemon zest, mangoes, white flowers, smokey flavours keep on unfolding, while nicely balanced by fruit-wrapped acidity. The finish is almost endless. It's very sweet, and becomes more ethereal and crisp with air.
  
  If you must rush to drink now, keep it well chilled throughout the whole aeration process. Better still, cellar this wine for as long as one can wait.
