Bright straw colour with flecks of green to the edges and a watery hue. Sailing through the nostrils are intense lime and citrus aromas which meld into oily toast like notes, faint dried honey and steely kerosene like characters. Concentrated lime and citrus fruits overlay a back drop of lemon butter, oily kerosene like characters and a delicate steely mineral element. Full and round texturally it finishes dry with a crisp edge to the acidity and a long rich aftertaste.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.

Other Reviews.....
At 7 years of age this is showing an enthusiastic lemon hue in the glass. On the nose it is layered with lanolin, beeswax, cheesecloth, preserved citrus and brine. In the mouth, the wine has morphed into a nectar-like experience (not sweet, but unctuous). It is opulent and austere at once. A real pleasure. Recommend. Drink by 2037.
