Fruit from Block 6 of the Elms vineyard. Mendoza clone (vine age mostly 26 years). 16 months' élevage in older (minimum 5-year-old) oak.
Rather broader and more intense than the Block 2 with stone-fruit flavours on the palate and even a hint of popcorn. There is definite richness on the palate entry that must be quite unusual within New Zealand. A little more California than NZ? Long and well contained.
