Beautiful and still youthful wine with lush fruits, a beautiful balance between sweetness and acidity and a great length. Great and still very vital wine. A beauty!

Bingo! This was superb! I was worried it might be old but it was still fresh. Wonderful floral notes, accompanied by honeysuckle and a variety of citrus fruits. There is also white peach, honey and treacle on the palate. It is packed full of wonderful creamy vanilla notes from the oak. Amazing structure, fruit dominated but lovely acidity and oak to provide a mouth full of opulent pleasure. Very long and complex. Drink now to avoid tertiary caramel notes.

This is a truly wonderful wine - one of the best I have ever had. Golden, rich, unctuous. Hints of caramel along with the dried apricot, candied fruit zest and yellow peach syrup - yum! This is balanced on the edge between youthful extravagance and old age, with some tertiary notes entering the stage. Long and complex, so many layers of flavour. Drink now while it still has the beauty of youth.

At The Fulton Jean-George’s NYC. This was ready to shine out the bottle, an apricoty bouquet and butterscotch/buckwheat honey palate, played off the shellfish/octopus dishes extremely well. Can probably hold for a few years but this is at a prime drinking window now.

My last bottle and held up better than the one I consumed before this one.
See previous notes. Floral, round, stone fruit. Just delicious wine. Always be buying this wine.
