Golden with aromas of fruit and toasty creamy oak spice. On the palate pear, apple and honey with hints of peach and citrus notes and nice round oaky tones, showing its age. Medium+ finish ending with a sweet creamy mineral edge. Don’t wait any longer on this one!

Drinking well but showing its age. Not built for the cellar, ready to go. Needed time too, at first it was hard to get all the layers from the glass

Terrific focus and precision. Lemony and flinty with tropical edges.

Delicate juicyness, full and wide. Key Lime pie and pastoral butter.
