Still quite a youthful wine with only a little Petrol aging showing colour was yellowing although at the tinged rather than the whole wine. Floural nose with richness and tropical fruit and geraniums and honey suckle nose quite consistent to the palate. The mouthfeel was good with the acidity being balanced yet cleansing and helped with overall length. Wine interestingly has still a lot of life in it and the bottle was under cork not stelvan

Medium yellow collour. Citrus-dominated nose with some apple, mineral notes, some petrol notes and hints of smoke. A pure and fully dry palate, with citrus notes, green apples, mineral, prominent acidity and a long, firm and fresh aftertaste. Drinks well now, nowhere near tired, 89 p.
This is true to the house style, but surprisingly dry and austere considering the vintage and surprisingly young (undeveloped) for its age. Comparing notes, I get very much the same impression of this wine as I did six years ago, but that's at least a little surprising.

Steely grapefruit, tropical fruit and a bracing long finish.

Robe dorée. Vin légèrement oxydé. Sur le pétrole, hydrocarbure et la pomme. Vin assez simple. Peut-être trop vieux.

Dry, clean and mineral. A bit austere and rigid. Good acidity and pleasant balance. Soft lime and apple notes.
