21/03/2014 Brought from the cellar, cold and left throughout dinner standing on the table. Golden green. Honey, fennel, marzipan, scent, fresh cut grass, spice it explodes from the glass, mellowing with air and it becomes cleaner like fresh shellfish then more honeyed - ever changing. Initially you are aware of the weight of the wine in your mouth, viscose; it rolls off the tongue, waves of flavour, searing acidity but in check with the rich, honeyed, citrus palate, a touch of acetone - the only characteristic of the wine that feels out of place. Ultimately I feel the quality of the vineyard defers to the quality of the winemaker, however this is a wonderful wine that puts a smile on my face every time I put the glass to my nose. The greatest winemaker I have ever tasted - who knows? (56 views)
