Last of 12, pnp, perfect cork and level, perhaps even more complex and rounder than last bottle in 2018, no rush. A possibly mean F (17.5) and just shows how good Beaunes can be in this vintage and I've underestimated the capacity of this wine to age and improve. (I must try and avoid this mistake with the 05.)

11th of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, very pure and lovely if tad simple, more to it than last bottle and just as pleasurable, bags of life. F (17.5).

10th of 12, decanted 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, previous notes G+ or better (12-15) with one corked bottle, this bottle a clear step up over previous ones as wine now enters prime drinking window, very attractive cherry and plum fruit, fresh and pure with the grace and depth of a fine vintage, scope to improve over at least 5 years. Currently F (17.5) but maybe a better drink than technical score suggests......shame I drank so many bottles too soon!

Took time to open up, but did to cherries and plums. Still some tannins evident and expect will last a little longer.

Gorgeous. Nose of plum and anise. This wine has notes of concentrated red fruit, with a medium long finish.
