| Notes from the estate:
Nothing would have predicted a great vintage; no exceptional weather conditions, no early spring, no hot or dry summer. But right from the start of the harvest, we noticed that the grapes had a lot of flavour and were extraordinarily rich. After the first pressings, we were certain that the 2007 red would be powerful, rich, silky and very smooth. It is a wine with fruit and spice. This wine will be good as soon as it is bottled and for least another 25 years!
Additional comments:
Sauvignon tannins and an undertow of spice, mineral and dark, dark fruit. All these are present and correct, but it is the sheer quality of fruit that is even more manifest than usual, its beguiling and seductive sweetness now in a youthful stand-off with the darker deeper notes, but promising more by way of complexity and potential than we have the right to expect at this stage. This is the signature of a great estate in a superlative vintage.
