16^½/20

Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Ranges, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaA pre-release look at the latest vintage, this offers green apple, floral, lemon, vanilla, buttery, garlic, pear, grassy, honey aromas. Dry, fresh, juicy, and creamy with good body but somewhat young and austere. Lemon, garlic lees, nutty, grassy, green apple, vanilla, waxy, smoky flavours. Perhaps a bit richer and more textured than the 2010 but still in a cooler, fresher style. Needs 2-3 years.Tasted: 14 April 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
