2009:  held until now, lots of vaniila and ripe fruit with a strong tropical salad finish. Very nice.

2011:  pale gold, oak apparent but lots of tropical fruit, luscious, mouthfilling but finishes with prickly acidity and rather short

2009: back to form from ’07, rich, complex myriad of dark fruits and subtle oak.  Smooth, mouthfilling and lingering, a long life beckons.
