(2025) Well, this is utterly gorgeous. Pouring a glowing, lightly burnished gold, the heady aromas encompass barely sugar and exotic apricot and mango, but so much honeyed, lightly truffly botrytis character too. Rich but agile in the mouth, it has weight and texture but such clarity, the fully sweet and luscious tropical fruit with candied glacé oranges and mandarins, and a pitch-perfect balance in the almost endless finish. What a treat. Many stockists have this only by the case at time of review, and many in-bond only, but Brunswick is one showing the wine by the bottle.
(2020) More density to the colour compared to the 2015, more flesh and more density aromatically too, lots of ripeness and opulence, coffee, chocolate and spice. Blair thinks a sight Portiness to the overripe character, but it is so pleasurable. Weighty and creamy on the palate too, and pure.
