"A spicy, slick and rich example but not without cut and thrust of cooling acidity. It’s got the stone fruit signature, peach and apricot, a bit of nougat rolling through, light honey notes, a bit of pepper here too, and some seasoned woody elements married to yeasty, sour dough character. Perhaps a little broad, but a lot going on here, layers and interest."92 / 100

"This feels like a well-made wine. It leads with orange marmalade and gingerbread notes, in conjunction with aromas of honey and light spices such as white pepper and saffron. Yeasty and leesy tones hum nicely underneath. The palate is slippery and mouthcoating – yum! Intense notes of peaches and cream, blood orange, and lemon balm demand attention. Further than this, there are more herbal notes like mint, spicy Thai basil, and yarrow, which give the wine character and freshness. This wine has intensity and power with elegance – viva."
