Tasted from Yapp’s reserves at a private vertical. Coming after the 2004, this is still quite closed on the nose, taking time to reluctantly give up scents of lanolin, Conference pear and just a faint hint of pineapple. Well-defined but of so tight. The palate is where it is all going on: perhaps even more poise and focus than the 2004, vibrant acidity, a little spicier, more glycerol, energy and vibrancy. Orange zest, pineapple, spice, vanilla pod, creme caramel – beautiful, languid, almost understated finish. Superb. Drink 2012-2025.
