James Lawther: This doesn’t have the density of the 2010 or the exuberance of the 2009 but is still a refined and harmonious wine. Built on more classical lines, it is long, fresh, and linear with a delicate purity of fruit. The minerality shows but in a subtle way and there’s enough depth to provide a serious note. Balance is the key factor. Drink 2015–24. 17
