Last of 12, opened 90 minutes, perfect cork and level, as last August, attractive, no sense of fade, if anything greater nuance developing, and more pleasurable than technical mark may suggest, plateau but no rush. VGI (17).

11th of 12, opened 15 minutes, perfect cork and level, possibly most attractive bottle so far having rounded out nicely, good drive to black plum fruit suffused with minerality, just a bit simple for better than VGI (17) but this bottle higher on pleasure.

Slowly starting to fade away, yet there is more than enough, ripe, soft-textured, sweet, earthy plums, truffle, thyme and wet earth on the nose and elegantly textured palate to make this fun to taste for a few more years. However, it is time to drink up before more of the fruit continues to fade.

10th of 12, opened an hour, perfect cork and level, quite rich, not particularly nuanced, oddly muted fruit flavours and a tad short, drinkable but not entirely clean (I think!), no upside and no reason to hold. G (15).
