Medium lemon with aromas of honey, bruised apple fruit with toasty oak notes. On the palate ripe apple, vanilla and toasty oak flavors, extremely savory on medium+ finish ending with fruit and smoky spice character.

Big luscious Bevan as usual. Very round, tropical nuances, and plenty of French Oak, but nothing was overdone.. very well balanced, acidity on point, not too ripe for the fruit either, and though the alcohol is usually high for Bevan wines, it didnt come off hot. Well done.

On the nose; green apple, lemon, lime, underripe pineapple, cream, buttered popcorn, volcanic minerals and yellow florals. On the palate; green apple, pineapple, lime candy, buttered popcorn, cream, honeycomb, chalky minerals, nice acidity, decent oak influence, hot on alcohol but a decent finish.

Could be possibly bad bottle or just not my style. Big alcoholic over oaked mess with no structure or balance.

So so at pop & pour, but after 30 min of air it thickened up, for 2015 I prefer this over the Ritchie vineyard, less oak on this one
