Lea & Sandeman review
Very lovely indeed, with a bright sweetness and lush texture. Fresh, balanced and with good length, this finishes fresh and bright. Drinking well but will develop well for a decade.Other reviews and comments
Tasted blind at Southwold ’06 Bordeaux tasting. This has improved immensely since their barrel showing. It has a fresh, floral nose that is lacking some botrytized fruit: tangerine, white peach, quince jus and a little hazelnut. Good definition. The palate is viscous on the entry, good weight here, good depth with a waxy texture. Spicier than others, a touch of marmalade and clear honey towards the finish which has good length and really clings to the palate. Lovely. Tasted January 2010.
90/100

Already clear and pretty light gold. Rather pungent and tangy. Interesting. Not heavy but clearly a fine expression of the vintage - some greenness but not skinny. Very lively with good attack even if not for the long term. Clean.
