Lovely, light gold in colour, decent concentration, notes of honeysuckle, peach and oak on the nose (a bit over oaked perhaps), nicely balanced overall, 'not over-the-top' and excellent length (89 Points).

Tried a bottle of it 1 year ago. Thought it was terrible. It still is. Its nose is an acquired taste. Dried papaya or mango. I just didn't care for it. Thought it was just an aberrant experience. Therefore gave it another go. It is exactly the same. Just cannot get past the nose. Acquired taste. Not my cup of tea though.
Alas, even more bad news. Had the worst headache this morning after this wine. Is it the sulfite? Never had similar experience before.

Monthly Tasting Group LTB 2010-01; Australia; d'Arenberg (By HV): Yellow fruits, butter. The somewhat strange green cabbage in the bouquet luckily doesn't come back in the taste.
