A beautifully aged wine. Nose is nutty and layered with sweet oak elements. Quite a lifted zippy palate for its age with long lingering flavours with a slightly tannic finish.

Excellent honeyed age obvious on the nose with a nice dash of cinnamon and clove like characters. Big, rich and toasty in the mouth with a lovely flavour profile.

An elegant pale straw sparkling with subtle dusty elements to the nose and a finely honed palate with zippy complexity of flavours and excellent acidity. Still very fresh still.

“Fabulous vibrant aged wine”, enthused one judge. “It’s layered and complex”. Pistachio-like nuttiness on the nose with a melange of fig, toast and sautéed mushroom-like flavours.
