Fine bead. Apples, light toast and lemon zest. Elegant palate, fine and delicate acid. Undeveloped at this stage.

Apple, pear and stonefruit aromas. Light fruit sweetness with good acid. Good length and weight.
Sesame, touch of smoke and some red fruits. Decent flavour, but a fair bit of sweetness and little depth.
Lemon, toast, some spice and floral notes. Expansive palate with good persistence. Plenty of interest. Drinking well now and the next 4-5 years.
Smoke, citrus and toast aromas. Very fine palate with excellent acid and structural balance. Great length and depth.
Toast, mushroom and a touch of yeast. Good acid and flavour, but doesn’t measure up to the depth and structure of the 1996. Still a good wine.
Honey, toast, smoke and cinnamon. Good flavour and length. Medium power and nicely balanced. Excellent depth.
Tinned asparagus and old oak. Green palate taste. Not pleasant.
Honey, pineapple and nutty characters. Nice flavour and good balance, just not much depth.

Cherry and earth on the nose. Stalky palate, slightly awkward. Okay but not special.
Lovely nose with florals, cherry and swirling aromas of spice. Really good balance on the palate, medium depth and decent length. Moderate power and quite classy overall.
Orange gold in colour. Honey, apricot and brown sugar. Medium sweetness. Just holding on to life. Touch short but okay.
Grapes, melon and honey. Lovely palate with great balance between sugar and acid. Deep and long flavour profile. Young with potential.
