June 1, 2022 - Excellent. Lovely apple on the nose, rich and complex going down. A very nice surprise that this was still so drinkable being a 2013.

May 7, 2020 - Medium yellow gold. Really lovely citrus, lime, granite-dust nose with a burnished note of maturity chiming in. On palate, there is a hint of sweetness, allayed by robust acidity, but that slightly sweet sensation lends a roundness that leavens the acidity and accentuates the depth, which is significant. A complex palate, very long, rich, rounded, fresh, deep. An excellent wine.

June 11, 2017 - vines planted in 1978
Honey and limes on the nose
Full and intense, quite chewy acidity, meaty and concentrated
Good balance - you can barely taste th 15g sugar - but I think it might need a little time to come round
Still lots to admire here -

Palate ahs an attractive lemon/lime finish, noticeable residual sugar is neatly balanced by fresh acidity
