6th of 12, splash decanted, perfect cork and level, even nicer than May bottle, starting to round out and show greater complexity, very long, pure and quite lacey, upside, 12+ years. F (17.5).......upgrade likely if this trajectory continues!

5th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, in line with last bottle in Dec 21, more attractive on nose than palate, fine detail and freshness, just a bit thin for my taste, but sense of more to come, upgrade if it rounds out, 12 years. F (17.5).

My last bottle. Clearly this has benefited from its cellaring. Mature and ripe. Complex notes of partially developed cherries, apples, orange peel, liquorize and leather. Nice intensity and length.

4th of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, now starting to show well, black cherry, intense minerality, sous bois, impressive purity, decent persistence, quite lacey, upside yet. F (17.5).

3rd of 12, decanted 2 hours, perfect cork and level, tad more expressive on palate but still quite hard work with unresolved fine grained tannins evident, upside possible. Currently VG+ (16.5).
