88/100 45

A flagship label made only in superior vintages. Quite sweet with stone fruit, honey, mineral and clover flavours. Delicately luscious and concentrated wine with a lengthy finish. Soft acidity promotes accessibility but may compromise longevity.

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