May 12, 2015 - Stored in a cold cellar since release. High fill. Excellent condition. Lovely fruit and balance. Restrained not concentrated. Years of life ahead but unlikely to improve. Ideal second growth.

December 25, 2010 - Christmas Quaffs: Wonderful mature nose of caramel, creme brûlée and coconut. A bit flaccid on the palate, lacking in the acidity to be truly great, but long and nice 91-92 pts.
