11th of 12, opened an hour, perfect cork and level, similar to April bottle, quite rich and comforting, some heat, beefy, better on pleasure than technically, plateau, no rush. F (17.5).

9th of 12, opened an hour, perfect cork and level, in line with December 19 bottle, greater pleasure than technical mark suggests, little upside but no rush. Just about F (17.5).

7th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, I really don't understand what has happened here since noting a frankly disappointing, prematurely old and somewhat unbalanced wine just over a year ago to last night's bottle which was proper muscular Gevrey, packed with fresh, slightly sour, black cherry fruit around an iron core, long, complex with good grip and with excellent acidity bringing fine balance, looking and tasting young and showing the generosity but not the heat of the vintage. F (17.5)……..bit of a miracle and if representative of my remaining bottles with scope for further upgrade and perhaps what should be expected from this climat in a hot vintage
