Saturday, June 20, 2015 - This is a masterpiece (easily the best bottle we have had so far in e attempts overthe last 6 yrs - Papies 92-93) and really a young wine still albeit with a lot of secondary characteristics. Double decanted (a bit of fine sediment so one needs to be a bit careful) and took to The Beast, London. A good 1.5hrs from open to consumption and by then the wine was singing.
A beautiful, classic nose (present from th epop of the cork), leather, light pepper, cedar, maybe tobacco at times. Open, very expressive nose and justa joy. On the palate it is still just about entering its drinking window and the wine has many more summers to live through. Stilll even not at peak, it has pretty nice fee, tannin is on the silky side and def has shed that 1996 wall of tannin feel. A few dry spots on the finish do jump out but this is a true classic. 95.
