Not much on the nose here, but boy is there a lot going on the palate - really expansive, with good acidity and persistence. I think I could drink a bottle of this without too much struggle 😜🍷

1/1, good cork. Medium straw, quite bright. Nose reticent at first, butter, slight orangey/citrus edge, touch of soil. Meium/full, butter, rich, quite broad, ripe pear and brioche, lovely vibrant contrasting acidity, good length grippy finish. Excellent, mature, now and over next couple of years.

Quite a deep yellow colour; full on the palate, creamy and slightly nutty; attractively mature, and fortunately not oxidised (as the previous bottle was). A fine example, but best drunk soon while it retains its freshness.

A very deep colour, yellow/gold; quite full on the palate, but tasting a bit oxidised. This has matured very fast, although it still still has some richness and length, but it would probably have been better a year or two ago. Rather disappointing, especially for the price.

Quite a deep colour, mid-yellow towards gold; full and rich on the palate, with elegant, slightly nutty fruit and a touch of mineral. Very good now, but should keep well too.
