The aromas of tropical fruits, Kaffir limes, Pink Lady apples and roasted marshmallows fill the glass. The heavy and affluent flavors of passion fruit and lime marmalade are accentuated by the sweet toasty oak. The evenhanded acidity helps a nice mineral/citrus quality shine through in the finish. A weighty wine with lots of ageing potential.
