Late harvest apple on the nose, with pleasant smoke and smoulder unravelling behind. A big mouthful and persistent on the finish with an ingratiating exotic edge to the fruit.

Open, honest and expansive, with big bubbles and red fruit mobilised by forthright acidity. Pleasant but a little four-square.
