This was my note from 2017 and it pefectly reflects how u I felt drinking it at the Luton Hoo Hotel 7 years later.
Decanted for 1.5 hours and drank over a 5-course dinner at the Connaught in London. Best showing yet. An absolutely fabulous nose, one of the most intoxicating I have ever experienced. Lovely on the palate as well with all the classic Mouton characteristics. The finish though was a bit disappointing, perhaps reflecting the vintage.

Opened to breathe, decanted at Christopher's in SLC. Great bdx nose, cigar box, earthy tobacco. On the palate, medium bodied smooth and complex. Very dry fruit with forest floor earthiness and clean acidity in the finish. Intellectually stimulating but not delicious. 92/93

A smooth glass of wine, but at 25 years of age, it doesn't have much complexity.

Beautiful nose of ripe strawberries, cigar box, tobacco leaves…. Drying tannins present, red ripe fruit, the nose is 10x better than the taste at this stage!! Can keep 5 or 10 more years to be perfectly mature!

Second bottle of this in a month, and this one, slightly better than the last. Prominent flavors of tar and tertiary funk, both of which I like. In a great drinking spot.
