The nose shows complex if slightly dense aromas. Again there’s fine freshness for the vintage – length too. More mineral flavours slowly reveal themselves though to be honest it doesn’t seem such a big jump from the previous wines – it’s understatedly impressive length not-withstanding.

Bottled February. Medium yellow. It’s a relatively tight nose that shows its 25% new oak much less than the villages wines did. A little fat, stones, nice acidity – the impression is that it starts rather narrow before broadening in the mid-palate, holding into the finish – faint grapefruit flavour. I like this.

Ebullient, wide and interesting nose that’s wide in perspective and shows a hint of mint. It does, unfortunately, become a little more diffuse as it sits in the glass – I should have come back to it, as others that did this also tightened-up again. In the mouth I’m very impressed, concentrated, linear and very mineral – wow. Good acidity and long too, a sleek and super wine.
