2004 vintage. Medium lemon hue. Great nose. Quite mature - white flowers, asparagus, body odour, earthy, slight oxidation, gooseberry. Oakwood - vanilla, honeysuckle. Some nuttiness here - oxidation? Wet leaf character. On the palate, high acidity, medium plus concentration and medium body and long persistent finish. This wine is in a good place - doubt it will improve further. Already mature. But very enjoyable. 91/100.
