The medium to medium-high intensity nose is a touch oak-forward and savoury off the top, followed by ripe orchard fruit, apple, pear, lemon, and vanilla aromas. The medium-full bodied palate is dry and concentrated with subtle oak and nutty notes weaving through the apple, pear, lemon citrus fruit flavours. Delicious and creamy with juicy acidity. Well-balanced flavours of sweet oak, vanilla, nut, pear, apple, and citrus notes linger on the long, tasty, and complex finish. Tasted Apr. 2026. Score: 91+ pts
