The vintage as well as the vineyard gave this hugely rich wine. It has weight, concentrated fruit and toast flavors, the acidity on line right through the center. Peach, pineapple and grapefruit combine to give an impressive, textured fruitiness. Age for 2–3 years.

This is a rich, rounded wine, yet it also expresses a tight texture and nervy acidity. The toast influence is still dominating, although the fruitiness of this ripe selection is also showing. With its weight and structure, this is a prime candidate to age for several years.

This big, forward, fruity wine loves its plum, ripe green and yellow fruits. Touches of buttered toast add to the rich mixture. Acidity is there, but this is a wine to luxuriate it, ready to drink now.
