This was a notoriously warm vintage that saw sugar and phenolic ripeness shoot up very quickly at the end of the growing season

It's a full-bodied wine to age in in bottle and enjoy in its 10th birthday with powerful food

There is more volume if less power to the more generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that also helps to buffer the moderately firm tannic spine

Only the return of warmer weather at the start of September imbued the vintage with a freshness of great Chardonnay in tune with the subtly restrained power of Pinot Noir and a soupçon of rounded Meunier – that final little touch making the wine more pleasurable to drink soon

revealing itself in slow-releasing layers of black and blue fruits with exhilarating earth and mineral sparks
