Very aromatic with floral, nice toasty oak, stone fruits, and hints of honey and caramel. A bit exotic. More stone fruits on the palate and an oaky finish. Quite enjoyable. Probably time to drink as you wouldn't want the caramel and honey to take over and reduce the complexity.

Quite dark and showing signs of maturity. Nose quite closed considering the age. On the pallet it was full and soft with a rounded, nutty character. Good length and balance, although quite soft. This bottle (my first from the case) showing signs of age and I hope that the rest are slight;y fresher. Needs drinking up.

Shiny, polished, straw colour. Nose of plush, creamy fruit, milk curds, fennel and green herbs. Expansive mouthful of gentle fruit then some tighter, more fiery elements and long bright finish. Accessible rather than too serious, fruit to the fore, extravagant, gorgeous. My wife is reading this this and says 'add more superlatives'!

Mid straw color. Nose of curds, lime leaves, an aromatic green sappiness like fennel, crushed apple pips. Then into an almost fiery palate, bone dry and with bite. Very striking and energetic.
