1999 was a warmer vintage in the mould of 2009, producing a large crop after a slightly rainy end of season. Picking time, as always, was essential, its timing dictated by the long view and the need to adopt a prescient approach. This wine, for all the reputation of the vintage, is surprisingly steely at first before the vista broadens to reveal figs, quince and orange groves. The flinty, almost saline character is recaptured at the back, affording symmetrical harmony and no shortage of satisfaction.
