From Magnum. So energetic. Fresh red fruits drive with stem and game. Great lengthy finish. 92

Reductive still with prominent minerals and stone. Slightly floral but flat. 90
Big black fruit with fresh stem. Good floral, good balance. 90
Great sweetness from plain honey and white florals, painted with just the right touch of nuttiness. Great balance. Also one of the best.
Immense delicacy between very fine stem and nut, backed by a dry, sweet fruit in the background. Gorgeous balance. One of the best at the tasting.

Complex, straight wine with great finish. Light floral sweetness and bodied fruit. 93
2004 base, wonderful balance and salinity among the toasty nuttiness. 93
Not as complex as expected but an easy to enjoy nice wine. 92+
The structure was a little lacking.
Honey-nut balance is good as always. Stem and florals strong. 94
Quite expressive nose of honey, wood, stem and white flowers. 91
Great harmony, finesse and toasty spice. 93
Brioche, nuts, white flowers, stone and a certain sweetness underpin so much depth and breath in this wine. Fresh and lively. 93
Fresh, ripe, animalistic and sweet.
Not much nose other than lemon. Flat on the palate.
Straight and sweet acidity carries, albeit lacking some depth.
Animalistic, wet stone, very light and good length. 93
Magnum. Lots of salinity, perfume of white florals, smoke, crispy nutty finish.
