Oldfield Reserve 2Bench White 2015

- 92 points -

Sumptuous, tangy, perfumed.
A sumptuous white blend partially barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Chardonnay, Semillon and Muscat, this proprietary melange always shows vintage variation - sometimes it is brighter with more focus and others, like this one from the hot 2015 vintage is purely decadent. A confectioners dream of vanilla caramels, mango slices in honey, mandarin orange creme brulee, toasted cashew pralines and jasmine aromas. The palate echoes the nose; weighty and concentrated with mango, rambutan, warm peaches, honey and toasted coconut with a lengthy but zesty finish. 

Pair: Asian or Moroccan themed dishes, mild seafood curry, chicken and mango salad or grilled tuna.

About Wine Scores

What is a wine score and how do wine reviewers (I don’t refer to myself as a wine critic, I review wine, I don't criticize it) decide on that score?
A wine score is a numerical rating wine reviewers give to a wine based on a series of elements. Every wine reviewer (or wine critic) has their own method of getting to a conclusive number even if they use similar guidelines to one another.
