Rounded on the palate, with hints of lemon, white peach and a creamy note. Long finish. Such a reliably excellent wine - just delicious, with perfect acid balance. Now-2030

It’s packed with flavour, white nectarine and nutty spicy characters, a flinty grip to texture, quite some intensity and power here, and in some respects it seems more Beechworth than Yarra, or so I think. Pear and citrus, lime rind, with excellent length of flavour. It’s elemental as at now, and a little raw, though I reckon it will deliver with a couple of years in bottle. It’s a cracking release. 95/100 and Top Value”, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front.
