Such a characterful wine! Wish I had bought more.
Fragrant, highly aromatic nose offers nutty and lanolin aromas. The medium-full bodied palate is structured with very good fruit concentration and white and yellow fruit, and apple flavours. Nicely textured with a spicy mid-palate, vibrant acidity, and finishing long. Tasted June/2019. Score: 90+ pts
Deep Golden yellow in colour would have one believe this is an older wine. First whiff and taste will dispel any notions of a maturing wine, this is fresh and lively, with fine acidity underlying citrus and apple flavours. Concentrated and long finishing, oak is but a vague accent. I imagine that this would fetch high $20 range if this was labelled Loire Valley instead of Stellenbosch. Such is perception in the wine world but as wine lovers, our gain. Tasted Dec 2018.
This bottle was much better than the first
