A great surprise. Caramel notes with peach, apricot and dried fruit aromas – heady and perfumed, lovely ripe fruit and subtle toast, pear drops and boiled sweets. More juicy than the nose suggests, with subtle caramel and wild honey edges. There's a serious and oaky side but aligned to fleshy lemon, pineapple and mango. It's exuberant, round, generous, lively and clean. There's body, bounce, power and sexiness all wrapped up. Charged yet streamlined, an exotic edge balanced by alcohol and acidity – complex and delicious. Aged for 10 months, 100% new oak barrels (500L, 300L and 225L). 3.03pH. Production 2,000 bottles.
