Tasting notes
Soft amber, this is fully evolved, dry with notes of oloroso sherry, orange peel, oyster, honeysuckle. Good persistency and a sense of grace but this is ready to drink up. A dry summer, the grapes were harvested from August 19 though to September 6. 40% new oak.

This is quite rich, with lots of creamed Meyer lemon, macadamia nut, white asparagus, bitter almond and paraffin notes still to meld fully. Offers plenty of zip through the finish. Should be a winner when this rounds into form. James Molesworth, WineSpectator.com
