From a textbook season, this is a very good Clonakilla without perhaps the detail and nuance of the very best. Classic, sweetly fragrant spicy aromas, pepper and cloves uppermost. It's lively and elegant in the mouth, with plenty of acid as well as plenty of alcohol warmth. There is still some tightness and firmness in what is quite a big wine.

Fragrant and aromatic; a picture of medium-bodied, silky, satin elegance; if you want a musical analogy, think of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Spring. More prosaically, is very different to the '06, even allowing for the time in bottle, with more finesse and less power.
