Bright medium straw colour. Very spicy, pear-lemon puree nose with some slightly smoky, cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, fairly spicy, ripe lemon-apple-pear puree flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, gently cedary finish. Has 13.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / BEST BUY - Spicy, cedary nose of yellow apples with a light oak note; medium-bodied, dry, ripe than the 2014, with apple and green pineapple flavours carried on lively acidity and rounded with an oak note. |

Recommended by Vintage Assessments! A Best Buy |
This wine has enjoyed a long, happy association with Vintages customers. A true customer favourite year in and year out, it never fails to delight and impress. Look for bold ripe fruit framed by well-applied, caressing oak tones. This will be a balanced, elegant wine with additional suggestions of smoke and buttered toast adding complexity. A great option for grilled pork. |
