Quite a golden colour - looks like it's age. A rich nose of white stone fruits and banana. Hints of an oak influence, but with a very subtle vanilla aspect. On the palate this is a mouth filling wine that has enough of a spine to give it focus. Its creaminess probably reflects full malo and lees stirring. A touch of spice adds a nice dimension. Fruit has not dried out on this wine, but I think it's reached it's plateau.
