Tasting notes
Perfect combination of generous flavours, lifted aromatics and freshness. Despite its power, the palate feels fresh and lively, ready for another sip. 150gm per litre residual sugar with nearly 14% alcohol! Very successful vintage that is denser and sweeter than the 2009.

A bright, almost chiseled style, offering fresh-cut pineapple, quince and candied Meyer lemon flavors, with a long, floral-filled finish. Seriously long, with lovely lacy detail already showing on the finish. Should be long-lived. James Molesworth, WineSpectator.com
RS 150 g/l, TA 3.75 g/l. Oily lemon nose. Very sweet and relatively soft. Viscous but a bit flat on the finish. Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com
