Intense bubbling for a champaign of this age. Quite oxidative style with almomds, brioche, citrus fruit and green apple. Med-full bodied with bright acidity and good length.

A fantastic white. The nose is reminiscent of a top Rhone white with nectarine, apricot, marzipan, orange zest and tropical fruit like mango. Full-bodied, dense and oily-textured with huge extract and almost low acidity. Endless aftertaste. Excellent.

Easily recognisable as a high end new world chardonnay. Mellon, tropical fruit, sweet oak and buttery notes on the nose. Full-bodied, rich and generous. yet perfectly balanced with a long aftertaste. Drinks nicely but might improve further with mid-term cellaring.

Immediately recognized as an aged aussie riesling. Petrol, beeswax, honey and citrus fruit. Medium-bodied, evolved with balancing acidity and a med-long aftertaste.

A stunning wine. More on the elegant side. On the nose it is reminiscent of a high end Burgundy rather than a syrah. Floral and complex nose with red cherry and verry fruit, spices and herbs. Medium-bodied, soft and balanced with a long aftertaste.

Complex and elegant nose of forrest floor, cherries, aromatic herbs and spices. Medium-bodied, soft and elegant with bright fruit and balancing acidity. Long aftertaste.

Very dark ruby. Powerful and sweet nose with excessive oak at this stage but the blackberry fruit is so powerful that will take over after ceveral years of cellaring. Full-bodied, rich and generous but still a baby. Long aftertaste. Cellar for at least another 5 years.

Complex nose of barnyard, leather, grafite, cedar and cassis. A tour de force on the palate. Medium-bodied with textbook tannins, bright fruit without the tell-tale 2003 jammyness, moderate alcohol and perfect balance. Long aftertaste. Drinking perfectly already but will age.

This was quite evolved and obviously past its best. Intense coffee and leather on the nose alongside truffles. Medium-bodied with soft tannins but the fruit has started to fade. Med+ aftertaste.

Medium to dark garnet. Stunning nose with violets, forrest floor, raspberries and red cherries. Medium-bodied, elegant and complex with soft tannins and balancing acidity. Long. Already enjoyable with a long life ahead.
