Relatively pale white golden colour with green reflections; complex nose with a pleasant hint of mineral reduction, dominated by high quality Chardonnay, lemon curd, orange, and flowers and chalk, beautifully interwoven with spicy Pinot depth; silky mousse on the palate, beautifully layered ripe citrus fruit, seamless and harmonious, spicy minerality, complete finish, very good length. An outstanding NV.

Pelure d’oignon colour; open and attractive, slightly yeasty nose with candied fruit, strawberries and a pleasant nuttiness; rich fruit flavours, rounded and well-matured, soft but fresh, gentle mousse, hint of acacia; good resonance and length.

Soft but fresh, apple and juicy pear, light and gentle, nice minerality on the nose, supple and friendly, subtle bitters, light finish with some nice ripe orange notes. Easy drinking, pleasant style.

Ripe fruit and spicy oak, what you see is what you get, peach and pineapple, lacks finesse but forward and flavoursome, soft texture but fresh, good length. Rather obvious.

A blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. Juicy and supple and spicy, creamy fruit but youthfully tight, with nice tannic grip (skins), uncomplicated but lively and attractive.

Fresh and juicy and plummy, spices and red meat on the nose, bright and fruity palate with well-judged phenolic grip, nice balance and flavours, creamy finish, good length.

A solid Premium Ruby. Ripe and glossy black fruit and warm spices, tannic grip lends seriousness, flavoursome, slightly hot finish.

Classic Speyside character, malty and mild, heather and a hint of peat, spices and flowers, lovely balance between youthful energy and the gentleness of age, nice touch of cocoa on the palate, good precision and complexity, good length, no back-end heat. Actually very good.
