"Restrained, poised and elegant, with intense orange and lemon, and the most delicate of caramel aromas. Layers of fresh apricot and peach dominate the palate, balanced with searing acidity, while two years of ageing in 300-litre and 500-litre oak frames the wine. It's delightful now but should age spectacularly.."
