A richly sweet, intense wine, with almost botrytis-like sweetness and concentration. Honey and sweet fruit dominate this wine, beautifully made and balanced, leaving freshness and elegance at the end.

Fresh and juicy initially, it then develops a fuller, more complex character. It has weight and richness, with flavors of spice and yellow fruit and a streak of a citrus. There is good concentration in this intense, full-bodied and ageworthy wine.

Taut, tight and tangy, this has a great zing of citrus and spice. The texture is still young, with a lime flavor, hinting at the creamy character to come. Give this wine two more years.

Made in a rich yet dry style, this is densely packed with full, ripe yellow fruit and pear flavors. It is full bodied, generous and round.

This is a wine that seems to veer between sweetness and dryness. It has spice and a dry, peppery edge, as well as an underlying character that’s marked by rich, sweet, honeyed fruit. At this stage, it should be showing more balance.

Smoky, grilled meat aromas are layered with walnuts and fresh yellow fruits. There’s a meaty, smoky element to the palate as well, layered with some toast.
