This was really firing on all cylinders. Thomas’ version of Bâtard is always elegant and this is, but there is explosive power here too. It has the most pure core of white peach fruit. There’s aniseed spice and Arum lily too. The flesh is cut by lively, minerally acidity and the finish drives on and on.

The nose shows good class with some reserve, slowly revealing a touch of peach spice and white fruit. On the palate there is elegance and good minerality, size and weight without being ponderous. Approachable and enjoyable now, it will evolve nicely but unlikely to be a whole lot better than now.

An elegant rendition of Bâtard with latent power. Fine citrus and white peach aromas and flavours. Dense yet chiseled and plenty of minerality just below the flesh. Quite tight and reserved.

Now this doesn't suck. Served a little too cold but the stuffing is all there.
