Tasted ex-chateau and single blind in Southwold. The La Gomerie 2008 has developed nicely since I tasted it in barrel. It has an attractive fragrant nose with dark berries, red cherry and raspberry leaf, a touch of fig in the background and less noticeable than before. The palate has a slightly pinched entry but fine tension with a crisp, fairly simple finish that is missing a little tension. Tasted January 2012.
