Wonderfully rich yet delicate, brioche and lemon, intense yet supremely elegant, seamless, great finesse and length.

Blackcurrant leaf, aromatic, hint of mango, juicy and relatively soft palate, good length.

Cool and mineral, cranberries, very much Northern Côte de Nuits, light but intense, fresh and floral, good length.

Still remarkably tight and tannic for its age, relatively slender and cool, almost belies its Tuscan origin, more mature and autumnal notes emerge with oxygen, very structured, needs more time, very good length.

Very fresh and mineral, lifted, light but intense, white pepper, ripe lemon and white peach, dances across the palate, juicy and energetic, lovely length.

Pure, intense, lovely definition and precision on the nose, ripe fruit, rich but low toast oak, hint of matchstick, slightly low acidity (consistent with the 2012 vintage), juicy and rounded, creamy lemon, good length. Very good for what it is.

Spicy, ripe, blackcurrants and black cherries, plummy, roses and violets, very tannic, fresh and structured, very clean wine making, very good length, black tea.

Rich and buttery Chardonnay, toasty and oaky, lovely freshness and minerality, good length.

Rich and warm, nutty and spicy, leather, aromatic herbs, garrigue, elegant and supple, ripe tannins, lovely depth of flavour, attractive freshness and grip, good length.

Rich and tropical, lots of spicy oak, medium sweet, resinous oak, powerful, chewy, black tea on the finish.
