Still very fresh at 10 years old - seems like it's just at the start of its drinking window. Quite a lot of struck match, almost too much really, but nothing else to complain about - lovely line and length, focused citrus flavours with just a hint of cream, plenty of extract giving a weighty feel and generating some enjoyable bitterness. My first from this producer and I'm impressed.

A beautiful example of what can be achieved when oak is lightly used rather than dominates. Purity of fruit, lemons, citrus in general, minerality and acidity. Well made and well balanced wine. Light touch of oak feel more from fermantation rather than ageing we believe. Good length too and at a great time to be enjoyed. 91-92

Drinking really well. Showing some maturity but with a lot of freshness. No pre-mox at all. Paired really well with gazpacho.

From half bottle. Somewhat oxydated but still drinkable with fatty foods.
