91-93 / B+

Tasted by Mike Supple - 03 Feb 2009

Lots of yellow pear exploding on the nose, lifted by light wild flowers, all underscored by wet stone and a touch of sweet nutmeg. Big stony entry on the mouth. Round and full with tons of lemon zest with sweet green pear and crisp green apple. Good length on the finish with a lingering touch of cream.

Aged in 100% French oak, 20-25% of which is new.
