Check in bottle 4.5 years after first one. Acidity has stepped up a notch; remains lightest of gold in color; nose gives off more of the Roussane and Grenache Blanc part of blend; 9 years in this has plenty of life and development left; long floral and stone fruited finish. Very well made.

14.0% abv. Yellow gold color. Decent acidity, showing signs of softening, stone fruit, Marcona almonds, baked lemon, white jasmine flowers. Shows CB typicity for most part. Imported by Betz family from South Africa.

This wine is at or past peak, depending on your preference. Hints of decline, sweet barn straw, peak maturity fruit and fungus, deep gold coloring, waxy full mouthfeel, med length finish with noticeable oxidative features. Drink up!
