* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
While there is a mineral austerity to this wine, it has the potential for richness. It offers dark berries and sweet plums under the dense layer of tannins. Give it 2–3 years at least.

A dense and complex wine, packed with ripe fruit while preserving an elegant demeanor. The tannins are dry, while the sweet fruit is developing well. Balanced, just waiting a year or so to show its best.

A soft, creamy wine, with bright yellow fruits and just the right amount of acidity. Green apple skins give texture to go with a citrus aftertaste. Screw cap.

91-93 Quite a firm, rich style, which has a pile of dry botrytis character. It shows richness but not overt sweetness, with a great layer of acidity, which gives a crisp, fresh finish.

90—92 Barrel sample. Dry botrytis is the theme here, with richness rather than sweetness. Somewhere under all that dryness is acidity and flavors of sweet pears, but these are a long way off.

Sweet red peach flavors combine with honey in this soft, accessible wine. It has a layer of botrytis and just a hint of dryness. Drink now and over the next few years.

91-93 Barrel sample. Lots of fresh acidity here, followed by a wine that is ripe, soft, open at first, then shows huge richness, complex and concentrated.

92-94 Barrel sample. With its big, almost dry core of botrytis, this is going to be an intense wine - many years from now. For the present, the acidity gives it some freshness, while it remains concentrated.

Fresh, light and delicate, a wine that floats its peach and nectarine flavors over the complex structure of dryness and pear skins, suggesting it will age.

A light, balanced wine, with floating lemon acidity, freshness and intense orange and honey flavors. With its vibrant character, this is poised, likely to develop quickly, but be delicious all the way.
