Magnum, 2012 base. This is lovely. Fresh, nuanced, rounded. Very drinkable. repays a couple of years in the cellar. ***1/2

Retains its classic palomino nose. A little more evolved, and a bit richer than when last tasted four years ago. Smoother too. Finishes well. ***1/2

As previous bottles, fun and interesting. Lovely Chenin with Viognier and Sauvignon top notes. Went down well. ***1/2

Mid to full straw. This has aged nicely. Quite a rich nose that follows through to mid-palate texture after almost a hint of RS on the attack, but nicely dry through the finish. There's quite a bit here for a modest wine. ***

Only briefly noted, similar to previous bottle. Didn't have the development or complexity of the Petite Arvine, but qualitatively probably not too dissimilar. ***

This bottle struck me as being a little dilute and less complex than previous ones. Typical Gravonia profile though. ***

Bright and lively. Slightly sour cherry and cranberry fruit. Nicely ripe and light. This has put on a little weight in bottle over the past eighteen months. Bright finish. 11.4abv. Top ***

As per previous bottle of this, bright and vibrant, mid red fruit. Silky texture. Fills out on the mid-palate and finishes freshly. I've enjoyed previous releases but this does seem the best so far. ***1/2

First bottle from a case and it's a cracker. Light, bright mid red fruit with some strawberry and cranberry. Lovely freshness. Again, some mid-palate weight, but long and nuanced, good line with bright acidity. Tannins silky soft and resolved. Lots of interest here. ****

Consistent with previous bottles. Quite sappy red fruit on the attack with reasonable mid-palate density and interest. Very decent, though lacking the interest of, for instance, the Chacra alongside. ***

2/12. Very Beaune. Similar to a bottle almost two years ago. Minerally, red fruited Beaune character. Tannins pretty much resolved now. Redcurrant and a touch of orange zest. ***

First of a half case. It's starting to get there, but the vibrant Savigny fruit is still partially held in by a gravelly, minerally wrapper. ***

12/12. These have provided lovely drinking since first broaching the case a decade ago. Smooth, floral, sousbois. Undemanding pleasure. Time to think about moving on to the 1ers. ***1/2

Just as good as a bottle last month. So silky, and polished and sweet-fruited. Beautiful. ****

Maturing nicely. The darker red fruit now mellowing and showing good sous-bois development. A tiny hint of caramel on the nose but none on the palate. Fresh acidity combines with the redder fruit elements to drive though to quite a long finish. A touch of meat too. Showing very well and back on form after a slightly surly couple of years. ****

Mmm, this has picked up over the past four years. The usual Fourrier fizz, but less reductive from the off with a lovely, bright red fruit character. Nicely sour cherry and redcurrant but with some earthier notes starting to develop. ****

Back on form after a slightly surly bottle eighteen months ago. Dark, glossy spicy Vosne fruit in a densely silky, almost velvety frame. Long. Lovely. ****

Not really noted other than along the lines of a recent previous bottle, so quite plush, denser than the Brick House but not overdone, but just more mid palate complexity and interest. Darker fruited too. ****

Served last, this really stands out as a bruiser compared with what came before. dark, thick, ripe and slightly jammy. I think my tolerance for these things has gone down since drinking my other bottle of this eight years ago. Maybe also better in its youth? Anyway, perfectly correct for what it is, but I've had better/more interesting 14%abv pinots from Oregon of late. ***

Light, fresh and grapey. This has held well and even put on a little complexity over the past couple of years. ***1/2

Raspberry, a touch of leather. Sweet but not cloying. Really quite interesting and more than a curiosity. ***

Oh dear, this really is going downhill. It's lost the creamy sweet coconut and has taken on a far more medicinal, vin de liqueur profile. My previous note from six years ago suggested this improved after ten days of air, reverting to it's former self. Fingers crossed... bare *** currently... but with a few days of air (as was the previous bottle) this is back to close to its old self. Not medicinal. Creamy coconut and tropical fruit. A closed phase? Whatever, it needs opening a couple of days in advance currently.
