Purchased nine bottles in a mixed lot at auction, originally from a private collection, average around £30 a bottle. Double decanted and drank six bottles on two separate occasions over the Christmas holiday. Left to breathe for over 2 hours before drinking. Overall a very pleasant experience, I detected a strong jammy nose and flavour, with hints of lychee fruit. Makes for a superb special occasion drink to enjoy now, I imagine it will not get much better.

Winefield's pre-sale tasting: A pungent bouquet with spices and dark fruit, pure, fresh, a firm body and an elegant aftertaste.

Age has mellowed. Good complexity, some freshness left. Enjoyable at its level.

At peak now, full bodied, highly aromatic and flavorful classic Bordeaux. I presume it will hold up for a few more years but why wait?
