Deeper colour than the 2007; lighter and fresher than that wine however on the nose and palate, more about fruit than about vegetables but without the honeyed, floral character noted before, the oak is nicely subtle, there is a slight estery note, nice balance, light flavours, nice length. Still attractive but in all reality not as good as a few years ago.

Honey and grapefruit, well-integrated oak, not too vegetal, attractive freshness and bitters, hint of flowers, attractive but fully mature. Different again from the previous bottle and the one before.

Honeyed and quite mature just like 7 months ago, but seems to have developed an almost Riesling-like profile which includes very attractive notes of white peach. Good intensity, elegance and length, citrus and gooseberry.

Seems to have developed pretty quickly, has a honeyed patina of age already but has lost a lot of definition and precision. No oxidation but cork seemed a bit loose?
