France/Italy age: this wine does not seem as if it will develop further so within last three years ... ready to drink, can hold a year (not improve) Elegant, aromatically interesting but youthfully subdued nose offers orange, peach, herbs and vanilla. Firm and juicy, with ripe acids giving shape and lift to the fruit-driven flavors of orange, lemon and pear. This offers very good texture and length.

Open, tropical nose. Bold palate full of huge tropical flavours tempered by good acidity and some subtle oak. As utterly reliable and delicious as ever. *
