Outram Estate Verdelho 2000 (Recommended)

A little fruit shy on the nose at first but some rich and slightly oaky notes vapour up over time. More richness in the mouth with very in your face fruit and some heat. Ripeness and oak (100% new French) build a very powerful wine. Wine finishes long and coats the throat with some heat. Quite a unique feel for a verdelho, almost a bit like a high powered chard. Holding up beautifully for a 4 year old and certainly has a few years left. Very enjoyable.
