Straw gold with a green chartreuse border. On the nose it initially reserved but after a few minutes it starts to reveal itself. Complex with crystalline purity. Aromas of Anjou pear, white peach, lime blossom, lemon, white flowers, hazelnut brioche with a hint of toasted wood and gun smoke. The palate is fine and silky with a myriad of flavours reflecting the aroma blending in youthful harmony. There is a crisp acidity which is a hallmark of the vintage and an excellent indicator for the ageing potential of this wine. A sophisticated powerful wine of finesse with beguiling texture and great length. While it it is labelled Frère Cadet (younger brother) it is by no means a second wine. Only one from a different Terroir. - Keppell Smith, Winemaker.
