About this deal
Another good vintage, though conditions meant lower levels of alcohol and sugar. Yellow-gold, and slightly less sweet-tasting, yet a velvet cushion texture too. The least residual sugar of any of the vintages released, with rose, oleander, lavender, lychee and sage aromas. A predominance of citrus fruits on the palate. Orange, kumquat and tangerine suggest a hint of Botrytis. A length in minutes, with cloves and nutmeg, a saline mineral freshness. A little less weighty, but with no sharp edges, irresistible. 2013

January 14, 1972 Community College, Slough, ENG (supported by Spontaneous Combustion, Carol Grimes & Uncle Dog & Heavy Eric) The Epokale project has become a great success.

The Epokale tasting took place at the Cantina, in a vast air-conditioned hall where the surrounding views of towering mountains and vineyards provide a magnificent setting. By comparison, as distressing as the time when I found out that Santa Claus was not a real person. That bad. This debut vintage from a warm year set the benchmark. 2009 had very ripe grapes with high sugar content, some Botrytis, and high acidity. A deep 24-carat gold colour presages powerful aromas. Rose petals and lychee are signatures, but there’s much more besides; lavender, passionfruit and mango all appear, as do cinnamon and saffron. The palate is richly creamy, almost syrupy, retaining finesse thanks to the retention of fresh acidity to balance a large amount of residual sugar. Honey appears on the palate, plus added complexity from salinity, ginger and cloves. The finish takes minutes. This vintage was the one that later received 100 points. There’s an overwhelming impression of power, concentration and intensity, a wine for slow-sipping contemplation. Magnificent – but is it too much? Arguably so. 2010
