The 2008 vintage (3.5*) was hand-picked, fermented and matured for 10 months in French and American oak barrels, and given a full, softening malolactic fermentation. A moderately complex style, maturing well, with mouthfilling body and very good depth of citrusy, peachy, toasty flavours, it is fleshy and slightly buttery, with a sweet oak influence.
