Chardonnays and Pinots of North London (Must & Lees): I'm a fan of Boillot's reds, and this was good, but ultimately outshone by the village wine had alongside it. Maybe it just needs a little more time. Grown up in feel, rich on the nose, then greener and more savoury. Still some tannin evident. Long finish. Yum.

Still young! For a 13-year old wine... Great vintage of course. A little furry still - needs time to soften. A sweet, hypnotic perfume. Oddly drying, though. Fantastic to think this is still going to evolve.

North London TWS Tastings series: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (Must and Lees, N1): Nose is very perfumed - old leather and balsamic but some young red cherry,
Palate is quite young too and tannins are still pretty present and fresh red fruit. This has great stuffing and will only get better

North London TWS Tastings series: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir (Must and Lees, N1): Classy. My notes ran out, but classy. It was alongside the Morey-St-Denis and did not eclipse it, but this was really good. Fine, precise and lively.

Not so open but rich and high-concentrated. Need to age for 5 or more years.
