2017 marks the 40th commercial vintage of this wine, which Moss Wood winemakers liken to 1990 – one of the best years ever – with the capacity to age 30 years. Soaring aromas of waxy lanolin, green figs and honey with a limey tang that cuts through the palate. Linear, complex and structured but with beautiful density and richness.
