France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Extremely fresh and youthful, hint of reduction on the nose, so energetic and mineral, cool and herbal, cream and lemon, tightly wound but not austere, silky and balanced, relatively terse in its expression, elegant and poised, long and stylish. Will last.
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Fully mature but lively appearance; warm and vinous nose, mature and harmonious, roasted chestnuts, warm spices, vestiges of fruit, hint of game, touch of nuttiness; mature but lively palate, medium weight, excellent balance, sturdy tannic foundation carried by ripe acidity, lovely nuance to the flavours, thinning a bit but not drying out; good length, medicinal character on the finish.
Mature but lively appearance, a gentle ruddy tawny; warm and lively nose, nuts and spices, roses and tangerines; harmonious and elegant palate, medium weight, gentle and elegant, sweet and lively, still supported by ripe tannins; lovely complexity on the finish, very good length.
Youthful and elegant, stylish and energetic, ripe oranges and nuts, epitomises Grande Champagne with its tight floral flavours, bright and vibrant, excellent length.

Really good concentration and depth, salty depth, good fruit, the sweetness is a bit distracting.
