A rich expression, with delicious aromatics on the nose – apricot, pear, lychee, mandarin peel, macademia nut and a lemon blossom floral lift. Brimming with golden stonefruit, marmalade and pink grapefruit and baking spice flavours, plus a suggestion of the dry tannin of red apple skin. Acidity is moderate, the oak element subdued but toasty, and the palate has a lovely, waxy textural quality. An intriguing juxtaposition of oyster shell and nougat notes at the finale. The finish is spicy, dry and lengthy. 91pts
