Aromas of toast, stone fruit, aniseed and Williams pear with brown spices and yellow apple rising. Full-bodied entry with a New world boldness and ripeness. A crisp, firm acid stretches throughout the palate and the core is filled with peach melba, poached pears, spiced nectarine, mango flesh and plenty of toasty oak. There his a creamy oatmeal texture underneath the wine complexing it. Blind, one could almost feel this is a ripe baked SA Chenin Blanc with its plump breadth, buttered toast and spices. The wine is far more that exotic, almost California expression and not the mineral style I prefer but this is a well made example. Certainly intense but not necessarily concentrated the finish is long with spice, aniseed and even fennel fronds all pushed forward by the bracing acidity.

Honey, exotic fruit and oak notes on the nose, velvety texture and lots of exotic fruit,apples and a long ending with grapefruit and minerals, excellent wine that opened up more on day 2, will save some bottles a few more years.

Otippat bra! Öppen fin doft med äpple, persika, honung och mineral. I smaken smörig och fin men med väldigt ren bra syra.
