  Drinking well. Perfect aged stage. 2nd bottle opened. The male side of Cote-Rotie (black/dark rock) has rounded off his youthful edges and has become a gentleman. Drinking well.

  Drinking well and well heeled Cote-Rotie. Perfect drinking as I can perceive. Just opened. Nose perfect. See how this develops. Still very vigorous.
  This bottle seemed to fade and might be on its last days. Drinks well for the first two night than drinks as normal late 80’s Syrah. Keep score as is.

  Drank this on a rainy, spring day while playing Euchre. Hard to concentrate on the card game! This was near perfect La La. Intensely focused in the mouth with a very distinct river of flavour down the throat. We couldn't stop moaning and were heartbroken by the last sip!

  I preferred this to the 1982 La Mouline I also recently tried. Soft and fluffy. So balanced. Nice fruits. Still primary albeit just on the brink of its secondary phase.
  
  Drink now to 2050+
  
  Drank at SWs open house.

  Will T’s (30th) 87s (Noizé, London): Smoky, dense. Black olives. Alongside the cheese this is an uncompromising and mean bruiser. Very dry and overly
  Oaky. Dusty. Almost unpleasant. However with the cheese out of the way this sweetens and shows more nuance and character. Complexity too. Still quite hard work / uncompromising but one could drink a glass of it. 30 years old in a lighter vintage — goodness knows what a big vintage is like! ***1/2
