2018 vintage. Pretty dry. Strong floral notes and completely devoid of oiliness. Green pear skin, lemon peel, rosewater, melon rind.

Complex and very pretty nose. Spicy pallet with excellent weight. Full texture and spice carries over the pallet to a dry finish despite ~17g/L residual sugar. Great length. Loved it!

The colour is still youthful, power aplenty and the typical spicy/musky tones aren't hiding away. The fruit flavour is just spectacularly rich and still fresh, it travels seamlessly into a super long finish that....... I don't know.... But this is a wine to muse over. Outstanding short term rewards for little $$
This paper work wasn't so dull after all. :)

Good texture and balance with lychee, honeysuckle, dry. Well done.

Fucking love this wine. Strong lychee, pear, rose, and Turkish delight with subtle ginger on both the nose and the palate. Very low acidity, spicy-almost-fizzy quality on the tongue and smooth full-body. Rose notes linger on the finish.

Notes of apricot and white peach. A touch sweet but in a pleasant way. Well balanced
