Judges Selection [GFW21]

2021 Global Fine Wine Challenge

97 | Opens with yellow apple, ripe apricot. Big and rich with excellent intensity and weight, generous ripe peach and apricot and fresh acidity. Oak adds structural support. Well balanced with a long finish.

84 | Honey, floral and lifted VA on the nose. Sweet sour acidity on palate.

92 | Full bodied viscous wine with plentiful lemon honey grapefruit musky stonefruit notes, fine chalky textures. A touch blowsy and advanced.

87 | Juicy - though there is obtrusive VA on the nose and palate.
