A powerful Marlborough wine, rich and creamy. The 2010 vintage (4.5*) was fermented and lees-aged for 10 months in French oak barriques (25 per cent new). Already delicious, it is fleshy, concentrated and complex, with a strong presence. Very full-bodied, it has concentrated, ripe melon and peach flavours, fresh acidity, mealy, biscuity notes and a creamy-smooth texture. Great value.
