A great swathe of rich, well–defined fruit and a complex texture of pear and apple skins along with the freshest grapefruit and citrus character. This is an intense wine, the fruit fully in focus.

A wine that is broad, feeling full-bodied, with weight, pear and quince fruit flavors. The wine is attractively plump, toast and acidity adding richness. It opens slowly to give a rich aftertaste.

A smooth and concentrated wine, very rich. Peach and nectarine fruits dominate, the acidity coming from a crisp citrus streak. The wine could benefit from another year in bottle to reveal its true intensity.

There’s good concentration with this wine. It shows green apples, pears and green plum skin flavors. On top, there is wood, well balanced with the fruit; a sumptuous mix that shows the generosity of 2005.

Driven by a concentrated mineral character, this is initially an austere wine. It has fresh green fruit and wood flavors, very juicy while the taut side of the texture is prominent. Age for 2-3 years.

Flavors are followed by intense crisp citrus fruit. This is a lively style, very fresh with a delicious tang of orange zest, light caramel and vibrant acidity.

While the wood is important here, it is beautifully integrated into the ripe fruits, the fresh acidity and the layers of flint and chalk texture. A delicious lemon juice acidity comes at the end.
