Light gold with a touch of bronze. Lovely. Rich, smooth. Lovely line av focus, a touch oxidative on the mid-palate in a complexity-adding way. Very long and fine. Gentle spice towards the front end. A touch of toasted nut and cream. Just lovely. ****1/2

Gorgeous nose. Very smooth and harmonious with dusty deep red fruit and just a touch of orange peel behind the Lapsang. Silky smooth entry, very elegant, long and plenty of fruit. Fine acidity. Wonderful. Ethereal, but so rounded. An almost statuesque beauty. *****

Even deeper colour than the 64GR. Nose is more savoury, coffee and spicy deep red fruit. Coffee cream. Brighter acidity on the attack. A little leaner and brighter. More focus. More as one would expect. Lovely with the partridge boudin blanc. A slight frisson of unpredictability/wildness cf the 64s flawless beauty. Trad b&w label as per the GRs, but without the 'cosecha de' designation before the vintage, so suspected Res rather than GR. *****

Gorgeous nose. Wonderful purity of fruit. Blackberry, blackcurrant and a touch of raspberry. Good acidity, very fresh. More red-fruited on the palate. Really quite long. Opening up to show the whole smoky bacon fat thing. Really gorgeous nose. Long and lovely. ****1/2

Deeper, darker, dustier nose. Deep ruby, almost purple. 82%CS and 18% Malbec. Deep, plush, cool-fruited front, but rich and ripe through the mid-palate. A touch of heat on the finish. A bit of blackcurrant leaf and mulberry on the nose to keep it fresh and interesting. Still improving. ****

Burnished copper. Gorgeous nose, more oloroso than amontillado. Rich and almost creamy on the nose. Caramel, toasted hazelnut. A little leaner on the palate. Quite bright. Long. A little hot on the finish. One to sniff. ****
