Last bottle of the case. Similar notes to previous ones - this was a nice bottle. Overall, I was surprised by the variability in the case. I wonder if I kept them a bit too long. I have a case of 2010, which I'll get started on quite quickly to see what stage of evolution it's at. If you've get any 2008 left in the cellar, drink up.

Back on form with this bottle. Similar note to 27th April. Clear, pale yellow, watery run. Clean nose, citrus fruits, melon, some vanilla and oak, but not too dominant. Medium palate, nice balance to the wine, with good mineral streak alongside the fruits. Shortish finish however. Definitely time to drink up the last two bottles.

Two more variable bottles, very striking hazelnut flavours, almost seemed flawed, but still classic basic burgundy underneath. I wonder if I've kept them too long? Time to drink up the others.

Consistently good now. Similar note to previous tasting, plenty of interesting fruit, mineral and secondary notes, with a nice acidity holding it together. Drink up in the next 12-18 months I'd suggest.

Much better than the first bottle. Clear, pale yellow, watery rim. Clean nose, citrus fruits, melon, hint of oak and vanilla. Medium palate, still some acid, this one quite mineral fruit still the fore. Medium finish.
