Prophets Rock Antipodes BLANC

Bright gold. Deep mineral, citrus and spicy oak aromas, very layered yet compact with saline intensity accompanying a more oxidative rather than fruity expression. In the mouth this is very powerful with caramelised richness underpinning the weighty, palate-staining fruit. Accessible already, this is showing some more developed lees savouriness yet also a youthfully crystalline acidity which holds the full body in check. Spicy, long butterscotch and oak notes trimming the very long finish. It will likely remain in a taut, restrained state for a couple of years before relaxing.
