Gold [GFW23]

2023 Global Fine Wine Challenge

93 | MY, rich, buttered toasty, Full-bodied, generous but balanced oak.

90 | Bold aromatics; red grapefruit and white nectarine sit alongside struck match flinty reduction. Deep, almost leaf tobacco notes. A powerful wine with creamy bran biscuity lees, a little melted butter malo too. Oak in support. Good length

90 | reductive, oak and yellow apples skin, too much reduction? under stelvin? zesty mouthfeel and fresh weight, long spicy finish, NEEDS DECANTING, but i dig it

97 | Fabulous aromatics. Really complex. Fresh, bright sulfides accented by nougat and oatmeal. The palate is expansive and long. Highly sweet fruited. Bold and long.
