11th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, little changed from last October's bottle, maybe tad darker with more caramel in flavours, plateau, 10+ years. F+ (18).

Consistent to a bottle last year. Disconcertingly dark in in perfect nick. This will drink well for 5+ years.

Brown gold colour. Almond, mature honey, marzipan nuttiness on nose. Palate marzipan, mandarin orange with touch of banana balanced by orange and lime acidity. Aged honey, oak maturity. Some brown sugar and earth on finish. Nice length to finish. Lovely aged Sauternes.

From a half bottle opened a month ago and capped in fridge. Very luscious with peach and rhubarb custard. Super creamy and botrytise. Much richer than expected - actually needs a clear decade in regular bottles. Zero sign of fade. Solid 93pts now but clear potential to mature and get to 95pts. It’s all about the mouthfeel and body, lacks high complexity and aromas
