  Celebrating Dylan's arrival (Thomson Medical Centre): Rather remarkable for a village wine at this age - this was complex and fun. The nose had fresh, lifted notes of green apples and grassy gooseberries - something rather Sauvignon Blanc-like about the fruit expression - along with a touch of cream and some mineral and spice accents. That fresh, high-toned expression was picked up on the palate, where citrusy flavours of green apples, limes and gooesnerries came together with a nice minerally undertone and some beautifully juicy freshness. It was absolutely alive, perhaps a little on the skinny side, but was still really commendable for village of this age. Nice and complex too, with those minerally notes trailing away into a focused finish with a linger of spice and a nutty twist. Fun.

  Fresh racy and even crisp for such an old wine. Green apples, touch of sweet grass and grippy yellow fruit.
