Initially rather reticent, but with a little time and warming up quite a good showing. Tropical nose and palate, some power, slightly too much oak. Very enjoyable, lacking some vital zing.

Trip to Burgundy; 6/7/2009-6/10/2009 (The Cote d'Or): Very lightly coloured, almost whtish. Nose showed soil and truffles along with fleshy white fruit, a touch of banana and some white chocolate. Rather rich. Much the same on the palate, creamy buttery texture and flavours nicely lifted by the some acidity, flavours of cocoa butter, fleshy white fruit and more banana at the fore. Very weighty, very 2006. Still, nicely balanced, with good clean fruit, especially towards the finish, where a nice minerally note stood out. Very good.
