* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

92-94 Barrel sample. Smooth, the wood almost dominant but finally integrating well with the ripe yellow fruits. It is rich, creamy, with some toastiness, but well balanced.

86—88 Barrel sample. A big, burly dryly tannic wine, dark, dense and, at this stage, without charm. It is hard to see the fruit. Maybe that’s good for potential aging. Dry aftertaste.

92-94 Barrel sample. There's great fruit here, lovely ripe dark plums and black cherry flavors pushing through the hugely sweet tannins. It's very opulent, a great full-fruited wine.

Finely balanced, this has plenty of weight, which shines with the fresh lemon, pear and sweet grapefruit flavors. There is some wood there, but just a hint to give texture. A big success from a fine white wine vintage, and worth aging for 3–4 years.

90-92 Barrel sample. Attractive rosemary and thyme aromas lead to a very fresh wine with a herbal element. Excellent, with delicious fruit.

86-88 Barrel sample An aroma that is almost port-like in its sweetness. To taste, the structure is lost in a swathe of ripeness that covers the fruit.

89-91 A balanced wine, the fruit shining through the tannins. The wine has power, not excessive, with a jammy character and a light touch of final acidity.
