An inviting aroma offers lemon blossom, warm bread, flint, sandalwood, almonds and peach skins. Serious, but attractive. The palate is notable for its mouth presence - big, juicy, but tempered by steely acidity and very fine guiding oak spice. Fruit runs much more like citrus and mixed peel rather than stone fruits, and the yeasty influence is a boon for the complexity of the wine. Finishes with lingering, fresh fruit grapefruit flavours and a belt of mineral tang. One of Marlborough's finest, which isn't slim pickings these days.

Full, bright yellow colour, with a powerful bouquet of smoky-toasty oak and reductive characters. Smoked-chicken springs to mind. It's full-bodied and rich, in-your-face and shot through with vibrant acidity. Long aftertaste. A concentrated wine which has cellaring potential.
