5th of 6, pnp, perfect cork and level, back on track and showing more nuance than last June, if still pale and fresh, decent length and minerality, some upside but pox risk, 10 years. F (17.5).

4th of 6, pnp, perfect cork and level, slightly woody and unbalanced, muted fruit, some depth, slightly odd relative to previous bottles, not obviously poxed. VG+ (16.5).

Coming after a premoxed Combettes this was a pristine bottle of wine with a bright green gold colour and a lifted nose of yellow nectarine, grapefruit, lemon zest, crushed limestone and touches of spice and honey. The palate is quite mouth filling with plenty of attention grabbing citrus and yellow stone fruit leading into an intensely grippy and mineral finish that is nicely persistent. This is properly young yet its hard to trust the closure and natural anti-oxidants enough to age it as should be aged !

3rd of 6, pnp, perfect cork and level, showing better, nice lemon zest and stone mineral, depth of top vintage, upside and scope for greater nuance yet. F (17.5)
