Notes
Fermented in new and 1yo French barriques, aged 8 mths in barrel with partial mlf. At this stage it's an arm-wrestle between the oak and the fruit, but the quality of both is such that it's win-win. Nectarine and grapefruit lead the fruit-driven characters, notes of cashew and nougat reveal the oak. Tightly wound for now but there's richness and complexity to come.95 PointsSteven CreberThe Wine Companion
