Notes

One of the best sweet whites in 2005, this wine is well built and will perhaps age for considerably longer than many (40+ years). Expect this to give long term pleasure rather than immediate gratification, offering as it does concentrated peach and pear aromas with a lengthy progression of rich marmalade, sultanas, ginger and developed crème brûlée flavours on the palate. Very good.

Notes

Good medium golden yellow. Strong nutty, spicy, vanillin oak and marzipan currently overshadow pineapple and orange peel on the nose. Then a bit youthfully disjointed in the middle palate, combining sweet, fruit-driven peach with a slightly aggressive note of very ripe pineapple and substantial oak spice. But the fruit here is thick and strong, and the finish is fresh.
