Tasting notes
The nose is still somewhat subtle. On the palate, the expression develops and "gains altitude", taking on an ethereal dimension. Length, density and structure are all present in this delicious wine. A definite success.

Vintage
The beginning of the growth cycle was a tricky period due to a rather warm, very wet spring. The team had tobepartic:ular 'ly vigilant in order toprotect the vines. Fine, stable weather returned in June and continued throughout the summer. In fact conditions became draught like, interspersed in July, August and September with welcome periods of light rain. Plenty of sunshine, with temperatures that were high without becoming scorching, and fairly cool nights enabled slow ripening that pushed the start of the harvests back to the end of September. Exceptionally favourable weather conditions, crowned by harvests in thesun, made for a vintage that is certain to be outstanding.
