The nose shows a slightly caramelised and toasted character, beautifully offset by glorious citrus lift – notes of toast, cedar, cinnamon, lemon balm and lemongrass. On the palate, it's zingy and upfront, impressively alive with a shot of rich, almost sweet-and-sour lemon juice alongside crisp green apple. There's still noticeable richness and sweetness to the fruit, giving roundness and openness, yet it remains characterful and balanced. Packed with flavour and intensity, it finishes long, cool, salty and spiced – great harmony throughout. This has considerably more body and flavour depth than the 2007, making it a real standout for pairing with rich, creamy dishes. Aged for 10 months, 100% 225L new oak barrels. 3.09pH. Production 3,300 bottles.
