A light nose with some apricot kernel, and traces of elderflower. The colour of a young champagne with plenty of bubbles. Initial taste, light, subtle and sherbety followed by big full-bodied dried apricots, almonds and caramel. Delicious, a real treat, and versatile enough to drink with lobster salad followed by a selection of English cheese.

Not much of a nose, but an instant taste of cherries on the palate rounded out by some herb notes, thyme in particular. Should drink for another couple of years at least. A very pleasant mellow glass.

Earthy nose, with a hint of truffle, then a big taste of soft ripe summer fruit, mainly rasberries and strawberries, with a decent length slightly oaky finish. Like drinking a late summer country evening. Delicious.
