I always like this one. Oak is prevalant but well used. Round, supple and long with plenty of ripe stone fruit and melon to fill it out. But then, im rather partial to corley.

Best bottle I've ever had of this wine! Just had it in good company with my Princess. Great at room temperature too!

So it's Saturday evening and the night is brilliant, beautiful dark and cool. Had this guy with a lovely dinner...pale golden color, at first muted to the nose but opened up rather quicky displaying citrus, grass and tropical notes. To the palate we have lemon peel, pinapple followed by butter and OAK. SO MUCH OAK!!! like trudging through an oak forest trying to find grandma's house but giving up and hoping the big bad wolf would just show up already....med acids, med finish
