Delicious buttered almonds (back again after Covid effects on my palate reduced). Really enjoyed it. Quite a powerful acidity still. I didn't feel it was giving the extra I marked it at time before last.

Didn't like this bottle as much as the previous one. It didn't seem very well integrated and a bit lacking in concentration. Though it still has that nice buttered almonds taste, it seemed a bit unsubtle.

My experience with HV is that it is disappointing if you don't keep it for a decent period, like about 6 years. Because it can be so delicious, I keep getting tempted to try it early, but it is a mistake, because it eventually reveals a really classy wine, with the a wonderful balance, Burgundian toasted almond flavours, and a restrained ripe fruitiness.
I just wonder if I have much left through being impatient.

It has put on a really lovely lanolin texture. Really classy today on this showing. Bottle variation or taster variation?
