Light golden in color. Very intense ,elegant, full on nose. Strong oaky notes, baked apple and pears, almond pastry. Full body, buttery and silky texture, almost tannic, still marked oaky notes, very complex with wonderful intertwined flavours of baked white fruit and pastry. Extremely long. Excellent and still far from peak.

Last of 6, pnp, perfect level, cork fully travelled, rich but properly dry, proper GC weight and nuance if without the enlivening zest of last bottle, possible upside but pox risk high though happily no trace in this one. F+ (18).

5th of 6, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, pale and nigh on perfect, notable depth of flavour nicely balanced by lemon zest, fine drive to fruit, notably long and persistent, bags of life if all bottles are like this (they're not)! VF (18.5).

4th of 6, pnp, perfect cork and level, clean and fresh, oily and a bit monolithic, powerful, better with food, drink in view of POX risk. At best F+ (18).

3rd to 6, pnp, perfect cork and level, slightly more POXED than first bottle last November, otherwise attractive, but close to tipping point! VG (16).
