Like stepping into a garden. A cloud of jasmine, honeysuckle, fennel blossom, sweet pea and apricot blossom, with custard apple, custard powder and lots of oriental spice and florals. The palate speaks of toasty oak, firm phenolics and structure, with a juicy layer of fleshy stone fruit and lemon pip, vanilla bean, custard pie and marzipan, though cutting acidity keeps it fresh against rather a lot of fruit sweetness. Lacy, crunchy acidity lifts the fresh factor, while texture and oak provide a creamy mouthfeel. A fabulous wine to drink now. From Gingin clone vines. Some skin contact, fermented in French barriques, 35% new, followed by 10 months in barrel.
