.. Plum preserves, lily, cocoa powder, white pepper and a whiff of smoke emanate from the glass. In the mouth, this displays creamy richness of texture uncannily combined with elegance and brightness, and an almost tactile sense of underlying stony and ore-like minerality (which is difficult to describe!) ... Enjoy this 2006 over the coming 3-4 years and possibly it will prove worth holding longer ... Hurrah for this talented and visionary vintner! Score - 92.

I only had a taste but I enjoyed the '07 MUCH more than the '06. No proper notes but it seemed more dense and complex. I'll write more when I open a bottle and give it a proper go.

I still have an '06 in the cellar...curious how/if that has evolved.

Original review for the '06:

This is a good wine but a '92' seems generous.

Very restrained nose, and tight on the palate, quite dry and very minerally. Bright acidity and fine tannins.

The other bottle will benefit from a couple more cellar years.

A nice drink but I didn't find it lived up to the hype.
