Just the generic bottling, but the first 2012 tasted in the past 18 months that showed any fruit (2012 Cotats not yet tried). In this case, TANGERINE (or so it screamed to me). Will never be special, but better than the other 2012s of which I have too many. Presently a too-late-for-Delaporte, too-early-for-Cotat vintage.

Une belle fraîcheur sur la nectarine, le pamplemousse et le citron, une pointe de fleur blanche , de miel, de beurre et de vanille. Léger manque de précision dans la trame aromatique mais la pureté est séduisante.

Peaking and on the edge of a downward slide. Still rather acidic and austere as I would expect and like but it is coming off as a bit thin and the fruit is beginning to dampen.

Nice soft stone fruit and bright acidity. Still in great shape.
