Tasting Notes

Another gorgeous white Graves from this vintage, this wine offers up notes of honeysuckle, lanolin, sweet citrus, and hints of orange peel as well as quince and white currants. It is medium to full-bodied, with fresh acidity, subtle nuances of smoky oak, and a long finish. It should drink well for 15 or more years.

Score: 93

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 01 March 2009

Tasted in London. A lovely, coconut tinged nose with a touch of cut lime and green apple is followed by an intense, apple-flavoured palate with zesty acidity, judicious use of new oak and a crisp, persistent finish. Superb.

Score: 92 - 93

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 30 April 2007

Pale greenish straw. Strong catty, mineral notes with some sweetness. Lime sherbet. Perhaps not the subtlest example and a little astringent but lots of fun. Off dry.

Score: 17

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2009-2015 19 April 2007

A powerful nose with good complexity – pungent. grassy and spicy. Big and broad and brimming with lush green fruit from beginning to end. Thick and long.

Score: 91 - 94

Albany Vintners, - 01 April 2007

Rich, round and layered, with good acidity, but also lots of ripe fruit, from honey to pineapple.

Score: 92 - 94
