TASTING NOTE: Beautifully ripe and fragrant, the inviting bouquet shows yellow peach, orange peel, pear and floral characters with subtle spicy complexity. The palate is succulent and rounded, and delivers lovely fruit intensity together with silky texture and refreshing acidity. Lovely balance and harmony, and offers plenty of tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2019. Score - 90 (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Nov. 2017) Price $ 19.95
