Lovely nose - passionfruit, vanilla, lemon, slate and spice. Palate is all about the minerality, excellent length and with good fruit presence as well. Fantastic.

Disgorged April 2013. Licorice, lemon and apple aromas. Fantastic acidity and freshness on the palate, it is lifted and almost feels too vibrant! Fills out a bit with time in the glass and is much better for it. At first I wasn't sure what I thought but by the end I was loving it.

Herbal and vanilla nose. Rich fruit but the same herbal note pervades. No length to it.

Pineapple, floral and spice nose. Medium length to it, it has some warmth to it but it isn't a problem for me. Good fruit power in behind.

Served blind. Licorice, cherry, rhubarb and smoky spices. Beautiful tannin presence and red fruit with a mineral core. Fantastic drinking.

Blackcurrant, kisrsch, spice, smoke and a light herbal note. Very fine tannin with supple fruit caressing the palate. Super balance between the richness and structure. A delicious look at a wine that needs more time.

White florals, marmalade, lime, honeyed botrytis and light spice. Sweetness on the palate has dropped away but there is still a splash left. Mid-good length. Not complex enough to be better than very good.
