Tasting Notes:
Superb complexity and aromatic concentration thanks to old vines; Citrus aromas, white flowers. Beautiful fullness supported by crystalline fruitiness and fine and precise acidity.
Enjoy with spicy vegetables with an Indian twist, Moroccan or Asian flavors. Easily shared around spicy mezzes and pita. Also pairs very well with sea urchin, sashimi, scallops in carpaccio or even meunières, and roasted white meats.
This is ready to be tasted but has excellent ageing potential, at least 10 years in the bottle.

Rich, mouth-filling and highly structured, this has a touch of exotic aromas (mangosteen!), but isn’t a jot too ripe or weighty. In fact, it has wonderful silkiness, in spite of the considerable mineral power at the imposing finish. Drink or hold.

Flinty and earthy, with pear and bruised apple laced with chalky lemon-lime acidity and candied lemon rind highlights. Offers petrol on the nose, with a saline streak running through the seriously minerally, mouthwatering finish. Drink now. 1,675 cases made, 500 cases imported.
