9th of 12, opened 90 minutes, soaked and spongey cork but perfect level, attractive depth of fruit and minerality, just sense of lack of balance and drive to fruit, plateau, no rush. F (17.5).

8th of 12, opened 2 hours, perfect cork and level, in line with last Jan's bottle, rounder and more materiel than Lignier 08 on same night, now on maturity plateau, little upside but no rush. F+ (18).

Wonderful nose and concentrated deep red fruit on the palate. This one really sang here and was easily my red wine of the night. Quite a triumph considering it was possibly among the cheapest bottles and beat out some much more lauded producers. Big thumbs up! 95+
