Perhaps not a great bottle, but on this evidence very much 'drink up'. Faded fruit and flat in the mouth. No excitement at all. No really obvious flaw though. 14

Compared to the 2007 drank at a comparable age, this was a letdown. Aromatically somewhat dull and tired; nothing primary left, nothing mature yet. Also a bit flat on the palate. I can't see that additional aging would help. Correct and seemingly flawless - but unfortunately devoid of excitement. An off bottle?

Mid yellow colour. Slight vanilla oak on nose along with a light lemon zest - not a lot from the nose. White peach, a touch of oak spice, lemon zest and end notes of marzipan. Quite "zippy" mouthfeel - good amount of acid. Enjoyable.

Not a flashy wine, but a good example of what it is. Nice aroma and well balanced. Would buy again at the right price.
