87/100 45

Intense, weighty wine with mouthfilling peach, guava, oak, sizzled butter and nutty yeast lees flavours. There is a suggestion of honeyed botrytis characters that might compromise cellaring ability. Big and complex wine - one of Gisborne’s best.

Tasted: May 2007   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $35 (~USD $27)
