Lime, pear, elderflower, honeysuckle, hay, guava, grass (more than bell pepper), sandalwood, and emerging macadamia nut and toast (possibly from 6 years of age). Lively. Pleasant phenolic grip. High acid with a rounded fine-grit texture. Medium body. Pronounced intensity. M+/Long finish. Medium lemon color. Oak is 2nd use or older. Other vintages aged on lees, which for a short while, seems likely here also. Outstanding. The level of grassiness, though subtle, just barely takes me out of Bordeaux, but I would not have guessed Yarra Valley, Australia. 68% Sauvignon Blanc, 24% Semillon, 8% Muscadelle.

Med nose of pear
Flavours of lemon, lime, some creamy
Great balance, good intensity, very good length and great complexity

Passionfruit, lime, pear. Light to medium bodied. Youthful, but drinking well. Upside with time.

Amazing intensity and long finish. Great citrus notes. Great Australian white blend.
