Lay & Wheeler South Africa tasting (Glazier's Hall): A really special wine and rather distinctive: clean, cosseting lemon and apricot fruit - very refined, restrained. Expansive but there's great tension. The most beautiful bitter apricot kernel finish - very long. It's a magnificent cuvee.

Sample tasting at work (Oinsocent): Winemaking: The grapes were picked and whole bunch pressed, slowly extracting the juice at a rate of 550ltrs per ton. The juice was settled for 48 hours and was racked into Burgundian barrels (225 and 500 litre, 25% new) for fermentation and 15 months maturation. -/- Highly extrovert, very floral with tropical notes, huge in the nose, behemoth with nice oak frame. Palate with the same style, loads of fruit, serious tensity/intensity, structure, full body, nice acidity, long finish. Interesting

Fabulous concentrated nose of dried apricot which follows through on the palate along with a honeyed finish. Great stuff! 2560 bottles made - worth grabbing a few if you can.
