Awesome power, grace, depth and finesse; pure grapefruit, nectarine and peach flesh aromas are framed by complex, toasty, grilled nuts; the palate is amazingly concentrated, yet portrays a lightness that is completely beguiling and incredibly long.

Immediately proclaims itself a wine of great breed and power with aromas of nectarine, grapefruit, dried pear, yeast and spicy oak. On the palate the promise of the nose is kept and delivered with intense fruit offering flavours of grapefruit, nectarine, cinnamon and clove spiced preserved lemons, cracked wheat and fine French oak. It has great drive and purpose through the palate covering all dimensions (width, length and depth), penetrating clean grapefruity acidity, a pleasing slightly flinty texture and enormous length of flavour. A truly glorious wine.
