Great honeyed nose of sugared almonds, apricot and ripe banana. Palate is a lovely silky texture slightly lacking in concentration but nice finesse. Some minerality on the finish but left slightly wanting. The wine maker has great consistency across vintages and while this is good it is not his best.

Slightly muted nose. I was pleasantly surprised with the palate. 2006 has always tasted a bit hard and hollow on the mid palate but with some age this has softened in this wine and is more developed than I expected. Some raisined fruit, lovely viscosity still with some primary fruit too. Definitely drinking well. Lovely mineral/ fresh tobacco finish. This is not knock out but well balanced.

Great intensity, dark fruit morello cherry, light coffee notes. Deep fine line of acidity / structure, layered fruit, lovely lift and freshness. Sill too young but beautiful and exciting.
