Disgorged 30/10/2012. 100% Pinot noir. Ginger and bruised apple, cherry and nutty elements. Nice moderate oxidative character with good acidity and freshness on the palate through the great acid cut. Like the style and the position this is sitting in now.

Lemon, light honey, kerosene and pear. The palate shows good development, with the fruit rounding out and the medium acid line providing some good length. 5 years since I last tried this (it was quite awkward at that point) and it is currently in a great spot for drinking now.

Mineral, lime and laundry power on the nose. Moderate sweetness on the palate, but doesn't really have the acid to drive it forward. Nice but a little underwhelming.

Mandarin, pineapple, orange, white florals and slate on the nose. Amazing concentration and carry on the palate, with excellent freshness and lift working together to give the wine a superb profile. Excellent length and depth here. Came back to it at the end of the night and it was just as good if not better.

Not all that expressive on the nose, it takes some time in the glass to show some lemon, oak and grapefruit. There is a powerful element to the palate but it doesn't have the lift or explosiveness of great Raveneau. Got better in the glass, but never really hit its level. Hopefully just a bit awkward/shutdown right now.

Really pretty on the nose with roses and raspberry, spice and stalk - interesting and attractive. The palate follows the same trend with light red fruit, fine acidity and lovely precision. Already drinking beautifully well.

100% Shiraz this vintage. Bright nose with raspberry, pepper, redcurrant, violet and spearmint. Good balance on the palate, the flavours flow well and this has very good composure. Really smart wine that is developing very well.

Cherry, red currant, violets - then very earthy and peppery - some wild elements here that meld well with the more fruity and floral notes. The palate has plenty of peppery spice and has good tannins that are weaved into the fruit well. Good length and got better with air.
