Bottled 2nd May 2006. A real attempt to create superfine walnut tannins that set good Burgundy above the new world lookalikes. We have continued with a couple of new viticultural techniques here to get more structure and greater physiological ripeness. Yields of one tonne per acre have ensured a highly concentrated palate. As usual, part of this wine is a selection of the best pinot barrels and part has been kept separate since harvest receiving 'special treatment'.

If you've tried the 2002 Curlewis reserve and like it, then you will love this. It's cut from the same mould. It's much like the 2004 'standard' except richer and more authoritatively structured, lively, sappy, sour fruit galloping through your mouth. It's almost confronting - and yet it takes you along with it. When it reaches maturity, it should be excellent. Drink: 2012-2019. 94 points.
