Sees partial malo. 10 months French oak. Medium plus nose shows mushroom, lime peel, nutty elements, feels Burgundian. Palate is nicely expressive, green apple, baked pear, light spice, candied hazelnut, lovely acidity, finish shows excellent QPR.

Full bodied & Elegant. Serve at : 12-15ºC Aromas of ripe peach, grapefruit marmalade, blossoms and complex yeasty flavours complement the toasty oak in the wine. The palate is clean with a lovely texture and long finish.

Alc: 14%; Deep gold to a tawny-orange rim. Deep savoury bouquet, clearly developed of soft wet chalk, concrete, toasted nuts and ripe yellow stone fruits. Quite Meursault like with a warm, rich texture yet balanced by a lively, bright acidity. the mid-palate exudes lots of roasted nuts and veers slightly to a sweetness on the finish. Medium length, still in good shape and delta's out to butterscotch, molasses, salt and a brandy snap—touch phenolic grip on the mid-long finish.
