Consistently a quality wine, the 2016 vintage has medium-high+ intensity aromatics offering ripe pear, apple, butter, and vanilla notes. It's medium+ bodied on the ripe, crunchy palate with nicely balanced aroma replays, plus some butterscotch flavours. Wood influence is subtle and well-integrated. Acids are balanced, while finish length is excellent. Tasted Oct/2018.
