A quality wine by any measure. Strong flint and yeast notes. Palate starts round and powerful and then becomes mouthwatering and juicy with citrus and flinty acidity. Palate then ends with brioche and caramel and goes on and on. Outstanding p/q. You’d need to go burgundy 1er cru to get this level of balance, power, and complexity.

Mar 20th, 2023Mealy, brioche, mixed with fresh lemon and slate. Perfect balance of steely mineral, lemon sweetness, and buttery brioche. Wombat creek has been my favourite single vineyard Giant Steps a few times. This is outstanding. A complete wine.

Dec 19th, 2020Interesting savoury nose with onion, lead, gunpowder, and creamy lees notes. Palate is broad - marzipan, wax, almond, mixed in with traditional citrus and vanilla flavours. Big and serious. At Flamsheed tasting with RR.
