Tasting notes
Deep honeyed straw. Less obvious interest on the nose than the 2002 vintage. Big and bold but a bit formless and then some astringency on the end. Not quite integrated. Slightly hot finish. (JR)

(L6363M200100 etched on bottle) Light yellow. Precise citrus pith and dusty mineral scents offer excellent clarity and verve. Brisk lemon and pear flavors are gently underscored by smoky herb and stone qualities, finishing clean and long. There's something almost Burgundian about this.
Quite gold. Fully evolved and quite meaty. Good attack though perhaps not the most refreshing. Real mouthful but quite open and evolved. I’d serve this with food. Pretty robust and gutsy. Chewy finish. (JR)
