A memorable and superb wine. The nose is hugely inviting with rich honeyed, caramel and biscuit with orange blossom and further citrus notes. The precise palate is powerful with herbal notes, minerality and mandarin all balanced and harmonious with spice, wood and raisins. This complexity is managed perfectly with the fresh clean acidity that carries through on the long, flavoursome finish. Fantastic
Tawny/copper colour, this single vineyard marvel with 9% alcohol (if my notes are to be believed), 12.9 g/l TA and 235 g/l RS ie almost a quarter of the volume is made up of sugar.
The nose is slightly reminiscent of dusty velour and macerated raisins. The acidity really is a knockout! There are strong dried apricots here and that apple skin aroma too. It is such a baby... only 2,000 bottles made. One to lay down for the next generation?
