Big opulent buttery style. Toasted, mineral laden too. Pineapple, peachy and sweet orchard Apple. Not overtly powerful, some underlying grace, but still quite forward. Leesy, creamy, toasty, stone fruited, nutty almond touches. Acid is the notable thing, it livens up the somewhat powerful texture. Good

2012: more toasty, smoky style, lightly rubbery. Stone fruit, peaches, apricots, toasty, quite a rounded style, with a faint distinct SA taste. Good length and quite lovely.
