Thursday, November 12, 2020 - A bottle bought as part of a case en primeur for £16 in 1992 and before RP gave it its stellar rating. It remains a lovely drop - softer and less obviously vigorous than before but still beautifully balanced with some life ahead. Nose with an initial hint of smokiness before soft red fruits take over; lovely with grilled lamb chops. Good depth, still some grip and a soft lingering finish. Not sure if it will improve or how, but if it stays like this for a few more years it will have been a great purchase.
