John Platter
"4/5 Stars ... Relatively slender (13.3 alc) but well formed 06 lovely food wine; nutty & spicy, lemon-cream highlights, palate-cleansing acidity ex-partial malo. Fermented/11 mths Fr oak, 33% new." Wine Spectator
"89 pts ... Good mix of plump fig and apple flavors backed by a lively citrus peel hint and fresh, tangy finish. Shows nice weight and balance" --12/07 Winemaker's Notes
"“This wine has a beautiful light straw colour with hints of green. The nose shows pure marmalade fruit and complex yeasty flavours in a nice harmony with toasty oak. The palate is clean and pure with a lovely texture; finishes long.” Technical Notes
"50% malolactic fermentation. Matured 11 months in 225 ℓ French oak, 33% new. TA 6.6 g/L; pH 3.52; 13.3% alc. Drink through 2010." |
