This wine is raised in a combination of about forty percent casks and sixty percent tank, with only five percent of the barrels used for it new in any given vintage, so there is just a whisper of vanillin oak in its profile. The Wine is superb and shows no ill effects from its spring frost troubles (except perhaps in the number of bottles that will be available), as the bouquet is bright and pure, wafting from the glass in a mix of pear, sweet grapefruit, chalky soil tones, white flowers, a touch of vanillin oak and a lovely topnote of beeswax. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and zesty, with lovely soil undertow, excellent focus and grip, bouncy acids and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish. Fine juice.
