Last of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, heightened colour, oxi notes, too fat and verging on blowsy, so atypical though perfectly drinkable if far from what it should be and the wonderful bottle in 2020, downside, drink up. Just about G (15).

11th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, very impressive, slimmed down but weighty impact underneath, taut, focussed, fine minerality and salinity, vv long and persistent, approaching yardstick quality, bags of life based on this bottle. VF (18.5).

Sommelier selection at The Barn. Paired perfectly with our starters.
Slight oxidation but I love that in my whites with age. Very complex.
