Opaque, purple edged, forthcoming, mouthwatering boiled sweet nose (something I really liked on this occasion), really thick, dry and very cabernet - got better in the glass

Muted leafy nose, much lighter in the mouth than the 2000, nice adicity, but lacked richness

Not much on nose, savoury, sharp, but a tobacco sweetness developed, long, but not complex

Medicinal touch on nose, but then wave on wave of cedariness, mouthfilling, super

Leafy and light, not as tannic as I expected, quite acidic, cold tea sweetness - I suspect that this suffered by being served alongside the flashier 1985 and 1989

Much stalkier than in the past, but then the charcoal and the tar and the sweetness came through, mouthfilling like the 1989

Another shy nose, but on the palate, really full and ripe, lots of sweet cedariness, long and gorgerous [I seeemd to a lot more enthusiastic about this than others present]

Browning, but vigorous nose, dried fruit and brown sugar, harmonious balance of sweetness and acid

Mahogany colour, nose seemed tainted, but on the palate fresh, citrus, underlying sweetness - pleasant but not great

Mahogany again, volatile, menthol and blackcurrant, rather delicious, but not complex
