2007 VINTAGE
Robert Parker (Rating 92-94)
2008 barrel tasting. A very lifted nose with great definition: notes of honey, white peach, mango and dried apricots. The palate is very intense with superb acidity and vibrancy, good levels of botrytis with a clean, fresh, vibrant honeyed finish. Very good weight and persistency - this is a superb 2007 and a great success for Myrat.
Wine Spectator Magazine (Rating 92-95)
2008 barrel tasting. Dried apple, pear and honey on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, medium sweet, with a citrus fruit, apricot and spice character. Long and flavourful.
