Sunday, October 15, 2023 - A year since our last tasting. Again, this was a half bottle. Good, deep colour. After 4/5 h, the nose had opened releasing dark plum notes with hints of dark chocolate. The palate was complex but smooth and well balanced with lovely dark cherry fruit and soft, integrated, leathery tannins.
Next day (20h after opening) it was really at its best - deep cherry fruit, soft tannin and superb balance. Well worth opening the day before and still maturing, even after 21 years and in half bottle. Remarkable wine.
