Rubber up front. This was quite reductive and tight but also seductive and lovely. Felt more like a Mosel wine. Tropical, apricot, yellow apples and cantaloupe. Razor sharp acidic finish.

Big surprise - I was pretty sure this was long gone. Over the top for sure with oxidised notes of dried apricots, figs, prunes as well as distinct earthy mushrooms. The palate was still fresh and lively which made the wine drinkable and quite complex. Long nutty finish.

Always a joy to drink Sauternes. Huge complex nose of shining botrytis aromas. Petrol sticks out with a layer of honey, apricot and cinnamon underneath. Only drawback is a small lack of acidic backbone.

Another superb 2014 Chablis. Aired for about five hours. Lean, fresh and delicate with oyster minerals and squeezed lime that plays on the palate. Green apples grown above the polar circle is a describer for freshness in this wine.

Unripe white peppercorns and slightly hints of fresh green. Floral driven on all senses, with a spicy touch on the nose. A bit shy and tight. Savoury red fruit on the palate.

Big and powerful wine on opening with concentrated cassis and bilberries. Aired for 8 hours which brings complexity and elegance to the picture. Cool mentol, juniper, forest fruit and freshly peppered hanged meat. Elegance of Cote Rotie and masculinity of Hermitage. Ink, lead and steely blood in the finish. Very enjoyable to drink now but tannins are still grippy so cellaring this for another 10 could be a good idea.

Winner of the night. So smooth and velvety, like laying down on a silky veil. Cherry palate and almonds combined with roses and lavendel. Well-balanced acidic structure and long.

Ripe sweet strawberry. A bit reductive smell of bananas at first but airs of. Wit beer, ripe cherry and hint of earth.

Complex fruit picture of red apple skin, physalis and stone bramble. Crisp malic acid (or at least it feels that way with no dosage) with a nice balanced though of oak and autolysis.

Heavy and rustic styled NSG. The oak is definitely present but good intens dark raspberry and cherry, raw earth and coffee makes it pretty darn good. Juicy and concentrated on the palate with nice acidic structure. A little Rioja touch in the finish.

Black olives at first (was this thing all right?). Baked mealy apple. Windfall fruit, beeswax and honey (yes it was, and very complex indeed. Perhaps from some botrytis grapes?). There was absolutely nothing wrong on the palte with lots of freshness, ripe citrus, sea side minerals and with a layer of liquorice, caramel and butter in a full bodied oily structure.
