Deep gold but no tawny. Lovely clean herbal Sauvignon spicy edge to a smooth round lemon lanolin fragrance. Zesty citrus, creamy lanolin with well integrated herbal spice. Excellent weight, fruit depth is good and no apparent oxidative characters. Amazingly this is still drinking on its plateau, I guess it must have faded somewhat but I have no experience of this vintage any earlier. Finish has crisp acidity and long lingering citrus flavours. Very impressive, pedigree shows, this is a benchmark white for very good reason. I will slowly enjoy the rest of this bottle!

Still great freshness, combined with a smokey overtone. Not sure if I would hold on to this.
