2nd of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, as first bottle on 7/3, a fine bottle of wine, beautifully balanced, if without the weight and authority of the best vintages though given its youth and scope for improvement, I would expect greater layering and dimension to develop over the next 3 to 5 years and for it to hold for a further 10. F+ (18).

1st of 12, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level - light yellow, quite leggy; orchard fruit, lemon more curd than citrus, saline rather than steel, complex; medium bodied, surprisingly long, persistent and concentrated, waxy but fresher than 05 at this stage of development, at present a tad broad and immature, it should tighten and focus over next couple of years, upside, 10+ years. At least F+ (18) in this under-rated vintage.

Pearl of Burgundy gala dinner: Large-scaled, oily and waxy texture with buttery notes. Severely lacking in acid.

Fruit aroma include pear and lemon, little butter but clear whisky smell.
Later butter and whisky harmonize while vanish.
Nearly over its peak.
