(2023) I last tasted this in 2016, scoring it 92 points and noting "Will easily age for five years." So, six years on, it is still very composed, nicely wild and herbal around the edges to clear, lightly honeyed fruit. Still hints of herbaceous character with fig and quince, then a fine, sharply-honed acidity into a long, savoury finish. Still with time ahead of it. Bottled November 2014. pH 3.30 and acidity 6.4g/l.
(2023) The nose here is relatively muted, with a creamy, biscuit and almost minty herbal character. There is good fruit, but orange and grapefruit in this vintage rather than the more exotic nectarine.This is a touch more austere than some here, really quite intense, with well-judged acidity giving juiciness. The wine was not bottled until January 2019, perhaps harvested slightly later too in a cool vintage? pH 3.15 and acidity 6.4 g/l.
