Plenty of oak on the nose, but it’s a long way from being too much. I find a little petillance which perhaps drives the good dimensions of flavour – though it’s mainly oak-influenced flavour. After the last wine, I can only say ‘almost good’.

A mix of oak and perfume – no really – I don’t think it was the person standing next to me! Not too fat, good freshness and intensity. Good if unremarkable – except for the perfume!

Here is a very ‘together’ nose, understated but very elegant. Ripe and sweet, some fat too. The flavour is more about fruit-stones than fruit. Intense and long finishing. Very good wine.

The nose shows a higher level of freshness than those that went before and with it shows an understated width. Silky, sweet and very well balanced. Intense slightly floral flavours and a fine burst of intensity in the mid-palate. This is very long. Super wine.

The nose shows a little warmth to the fruit. Fat, and after the 2008s seems a little acid-shy – wait a little while and it seems to come into balance. Lots of stony fruit and an intense finish.

This came in at 14° natural – Caroline said they had to react very fast as the sugars really started to take-off. The aromas are much fuller, a little warm fruit, yet it is clearly tight at the core. Good acidity, concentration amd impact – yet it’s still light on its feet. This starts wide and slowly fades – no mid-palate burst, but it is very long finishing.
