Apple, spice and toast. Has plenty of apple flavour on the palate, good acidity and nice pure fruit. Seems like really good value.

Disgorged July 2014. A fresh nose of citrus, cherry and apple. The acidity is fresh and lively with good drive and balance.

Matchstick, orange peel, pear and straw. Medium bodied, there is some substance to it which I haven't necessarily seen with other bottles. Has some style and presence - think this is starting to show better than on release and may improve further, though probably won't get to the level of some of the great years of this wine.

Oxidized.

Rhubarb, stalk and smoke with a little jammy red fruit. Palate shows off the fruit power but I still like what it delivers. Drink now and for the next few years.

Strawberry, raspberry, spice and stalk. Great fruit weight on the palate, there is style and spice with great structure - flows with purpose. Saved a half bottle to show to some others and it had fallen over within about 4 hours - definitely needs to be popped and poured.

Pretty nose with cherry, florals and a whiff of ash. Fine detail on the palate with excellent tannin structure that is sewn into the wine. Feels seamless and like it will develop beautifully from here.

Served blind but I picked it. Very aromatic - floral, raspberry, smoke and minerals. Has the classic tannin profile of the region - the fruit though is clean and driven and works well with that grip.
