(Dandenong Ranges / West Gippsland)
Comes with very high praise from James Halliday in the 2006 Companion, a little unexpected given the low low profile of this small operation. Pale yellow in the glass, relatively youthful for a 1yr old. Solid nose, quite expressive, aromas essentially tropical fruit mix, ripe passionfruit being the most obvious character. Tight palate, almost bracing with seeming quite prominent acid. Very linear, focused, and may need time (believe it or not). Long finish with mineral notes, almost smokey (any barrel treatment here?)….quite polished at the end. Front palate needs to settle down a bit to get top marks, but I reckon this will look good in early 2006.
