A supple and fine-grained pinot whose heady, floral perfume of red flowers, red cherries and berries has a dusty, cedary oak-derived note, a hint of musky spice, nuances of dried herbs and a note of Sicilian blood orange. Medium to full-bodied, itÕs long and elegant, with translucently clear core of cherry, plum and berry flavours and tight-knit crunchy tannins backed by a faint meatiness, a hint of clove and fennel. ItÕs likely to build substantial richness before then becoming finer and more savoury as it matures. Reminiscent of the stellar 1989 edition.

Austere and traditional, waiting to unfold deep layers of fruit and minerality, this faintly toasty and oily riesling has an alluring bouquet of white flowers, apple, pear and like juice backed by suggestions of schist and lavender. ItÕs rich and concentrated with a long and assertive palate of translucent lime juice, apple and pear-like fruit backed by a fine chalkiness and tightly wrapped in a taut acidity, finishing bone-dry and vivacious.
