Savoury, exciting, complex nose with real lift. More evolved than most, but quite a strong impact. Dense, brisk, rewarding. Lots there ' great concentration.

What the critics say
Bruce Sanderson (BS) — 92/100 · Wine Spectator, 15/11/2004 · Drink 2004-2010
Reticent aromas and flavors hinting at vanilla pastry, peach, citrus and ginger, all beautifully integrated with its firm structure and supple texture. A roasted, nutty element emerges on the finish. Drink now through 2010.
