Still on sale, the vigorous 2015 vintage (4.5*) was estate-grown at a cool, elevated, inland site and fermented and matured in French oak casks (50 per cent new). An elegant, tightly structured wine, it has very good intensity of grapefruit and peach flavours, barrel-ferment complexity, fresh acidity, and a lengthy finish. (From The Wine Portfolio.)
