Dense nose of lemon curd and honeyed green herbs. Medium plus body and medium acidity, with Lemon merrangue and red apple notes on the palate, this is very different from the last bottle I had. I'm not sure if this is starting to fade or just an off bottle, but I suspect the latter.

Vibrant peach, pepper and mango notes on the nose. Palate had nice grip and prescience wi the searing acidity of the 2007 vintage on display. Lovely stuff.

Reticent nose, pineapple, honey and lemon zest. Waxy and oily, became much more expressive with some time in the decanter, unctuous lemon curd, blood orange and a hint of green pepper. Good now, but I'm going to give my remaining bottles a few more years.

Nice melon, spice and herbal tones. Good acid on the palate with rich fruit and great spice notes. Happy to have more of these.
