Clear medium gold colour. Clean pronounced nose with peach and a little buttered toast. The palate has medium sweetness, acidity and is full bodied with a long finish. This is drinking well but will be interesting to see where this goes in a few years.
Not sure why but this bottle didn't enamour me like the last. Light straw colour. Similar nose to previous bottles, but the palate felt a little light on for body through the middle with the acidity feeling out of balance.

Light straw staring to head golden, bright and clear with lovely long legs in the glass. Nose has lychee, pear and oak. The palate has a lovely weight to it, no overly strong oak hit, and it fills the mouth with a long finish and an acid line that's softening. Will continue to develop over the coming years.

Loved my second bottle of this even more than my first (6months ago). Surprised to learn that it had full mlf (given the acidity) and half new oak (already eaten my the wine). Showing the benefit to a good season at high climate it is beautifully structured and very long. Will only gain complexity in the many years it has ahead.
