Brilliant bottle, at its peak probably, maybe not... decanted for 1 hours to hit it peak. Lovely aromas of citrus, white flowers and marzipan. Very long

Last of 6, opened an hour, perfect level, quarter travelled cork, even more to it than last June's bottle, just needs a bit more tension and zip to merit a very fine, no pox and bags of life. Currently F+ (18).

Just about in the perfect place right now for mine. The ripe orchard fruit aromas and flavours are nicely countered by floral spice. It is unctuous in the mouth, layered with flavour and tastes a bit like a Pine Lime Splice. It has good depth and excellent persistence.

Superb bottle, crystalline and deep yellow. No hint of premox. Expansive and long
