  • Yellow. Great composition, fully mature now. Not much acid any longer, but elegantly bound into a complexity of test.

  • Deepish yellow color, as could be expected. Lots of character on the nose that shows notes of sponti funk (disappeared after a while), yellow apple, mirabelle, white pepper and grapefruit with a hint of at the most very lightly toasted oak. The nose is not hedonistic but it is bright, expressive and quite complex. What I especially enjoy is the interplay between the very tangy and some riper fruit notes. On the palate it is authoritative in its considerable concentration, structure and power. Both broad and deep yet remarkably firm, chiselled even. Comes off as quite dry, leaning towards savory despite the ripeness. Massively intense with a fairly formidable acidic structure. Some warmth on the long finish but not too much to distract. I have no problem enjoying this right now but clearly it’s made for the long haul. Anyone trying to catch it at its peak should be ready to cellar it for at least another ten years but it could easily be 15-20 years that is needed.

  • Semi-sweet melon, honey, apricot, spice and nice lemon acid structure. Rich but fresh. A great wine for pairing with spicy Szechuan and Indian foods.

  • This bottle came across as having much more complexity than my first. There was white stone fruit on the nose, but different, almost as if honey and nutmeg had been drizzled over the fruit. Very rich in the mouth, almost creamy. Semi-sweet, it ends quite fleshy and spicy like a Viognier but some acidity lingers as well. Should have been more patient.
