| Bright light straw colour. Fairly intense, gently complex, slightly toasty, dried lemon-apple nose. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, spicy, toasty, ripe lemon-apple flavours with a complex, effervescent finish. Ready-to-drink. Has 12% alcohol and 8 g/L residual sugar with lot number L1712335 on the capsule. Tasted once. Last appeared in Vintages (***) on November 26, 2016 at $42.95. Beware of dated reviews, the rating depends on the lot number you happen to be tasting. The previous shipment last November with lot number L161501 on the back label was much better with 92-points. |

| James Suckling's review states \"drink now,\" but as previous examples of this wine attest, it will continue to delight for another 3-5+ years. TASTING NOTE: Impressive concentration, freshness and purity here. It's all gently enriched with some savory, autolysis-driven characters. Truly a modern classic! Showing attractive spiced-apple, lemon and pink rose-like florals on the palate, this flows nicely into white-cherry territory with grilled hazelnuts and a core of sorbet-like fleshy peaches and lemons. Great balance. Drink now. Score - 93 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, Oct. 7, 2016) |
