Half. Deep gold - worryingly advanced colour. Synthetic cork. Advanced but not oxidised. Good weight, some minerality and a slightly grainy honied texture right on the finish. Lacks the freshness and zip of previous halves. An off bottle? Perfectly pleasant drinking, albeit advanced, but not up to former bottles. ***

Half. Plastic/compound cork. And again, lightly poxed.

Half. Crisp, mineral, zingy. Real bite and limey intensity. A touch of honeycomb with air, but mainly grippy minerality. ***1/2
