Christmas Eve Dec 2020: brilliant ruby color; intense bouquet of cassis and blueberry plus notes of cedar wood and mint; satin-like and noble on the palate; medium body. 93-94/100
Excellent classic Claret. Fully mature and on its peak. Enjoy now or in the next 5-7 years.

1996 Bordeaux (Piccolino, Liverpool Street Stn, London): Lovely bright red fruit. Not decanted but a floral brightness from the off. Lovely fragrance. Smooth and fresh. Very drinkable if perhaps lacking a little substance. Proper old school charm. Lovely trad claret. Top ***

Adriana's birthday party (80) and dinner and 'her' Frans opened some nice bottles: spicy, accepatble dose of wood, barnyard, lots of bitters.

Drinking so smooth right now. Acid is there and fruit is mellow but present. Picked up a touch of bret, but didn’t take away from it.
