This is the 'standard' model, not the Reserve, or the Stevens Road.
Medium yellow in the glass. There's a number of things happening on the nose, with nectarine and stone fruits climbing out of the glass along with grilled nuts and mealy or cedary oak. The palate equally shows fruit and savoury characters equally, and there's good supporting acid to maintain freshness, even a little 'zing'. There's a little grip on the back palate and the wine finishes reasonably long.
Pretty good for a 'standard' wine. Plenty of time left in this, too.
Cheers

Wine, women and song. Ideally, you can experience all three at once.
