Retasted 20/03/2003 An unusual style for this blend, having undergone some barrel fermentation and lees contact. Bright straw colour. Aroma of tropical fruit, lees, confectionary and spice with subtle oak end note. On the palate, flavours of cinnamon and spice emerge over a grassy, lees and confectionary background followed by a spicy ripe pineapple back palate. Crisp acid finish, with long cinnamon, spice and pineapple aftertaste.
