Really enjoy the style, it is a melolatic lee stirring style wine but with exotic fruits kiwi, and caramel rather than grapruits, lemon etc. The pallet is very soft and the little use of oak adds a Smokey intrigue on the finish. It also has nice balance with a slightly lower Ph letting the fruits come out. Would love to find a reserve bottling of this.

Well-priced (app. GBP 10 from the Wine Society), nice wine with fat, fruit and oak but also sufficient freshness.

Nice wine, a bit lighter than the 05 but appreciate the subtle flavors and use of oak.

Didn't taste any oak on the palate. Acidic. Very bright.
