93/100 55

Stylish wine with a long and succesful history of earning top awards. Its an accessible wine with an array of peach, nectarine, sizzled butter, bready yeast lees and subtle spicy oak. The wine has an impecable balance - the winemaker deserves to be congratulated for orchestrating such a harmonious collection of divergent flavours and making them work so well.
