The fruit is from Dry River Estate. The bouquet of this wine is forthcoming: floral (rose petals)) underneath ripe peaches/quinces, with hints of roasted nuts. The palate is broad and mouth-filling, with good flavour persistence. The flavours are ripe - of sweet quinces or apricots and again the underlying nuttiness present on the nose as in many other wines of this variety. The wine will benefit from another three years to soften and fill out further, and to develop the typical complex characters which can make aged examples of this varietal so delightful. |
