COLOUR Light-medium gold

NOSE Opulent and potently aromatic on the nose showing a subtle array of dried stone fruit notes, exotic sweet oak spice, a twist of lemon zest and earthy mineral depth.

PALATE The texture on the palate is rich yet immeasurably elegant with luxurious density and extraordinary concentration with enough acidity to bring the wine into balance. The wine shows off a tight chalky structure and sumptuously integrated oak with dried peach and persimmon leading the way accentuated with notes of almond and a twist of Naartjie citrus peel. Immense lingering persistence on the palate and a finish that lingers on forever.

92 | Quiet aroma. Super bright and freshen but lacks the density and complexity of some of the other wines.

92 | Sawn oak aromas, coconut, a little smoked charcuterie; palate tense and reserved, fine and penetrating, wth a very dry finish. Lemony, but doesnlt linger long. Potential.

81 | This is awful. The nose smells like manure and melted butter

89 | apple sauce, reduction, oak and white tea spice, the wine is complex but also slightly wonky. Rustic and softly old world, with notes of popcorn kernel and turned earth. clean vibrant expressive finish. it makes me do a double-take
