88/100 45

Still as fresh as a daisy with some nice toasty bottle development (and no kero characters). This wine grew impressively in the glass - it needs to be decanted. Weighty and bone dry with plenty of citrus, floral and stone fruit characters. A top food wine offering good value at this price.

Tasted: Feb 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $27 (~USD $21)
