Dunno, I think my taste buds are dodgy at the mo. Seemed really bitter and metallic (unlike the last bottle drank in 2018). I was expecting better after another 4-5 years

Complex nose with hints of cranberries, old wood and spice. Palate with lots of forest floor, fruit somewhat reticent. Good structure with a nice mineral backbone but neither balanced nor exciting enough to warrant GC status.

Forest floor, spicy, hints of mushroom with ripe red fruit and black fruit. The new oak is in the foreground. Tannin is quite firm. Both stood out a bit more than integrated. Wine is quite concentrated. Maybe aging will turn this wine back around for a smoother palate.

Blind The oringine is distinctive. Strawberry, violet, tar and underwood. Elegant but missing length and concentration for the vintage and GC status. 91-92

Drank a couple of weeks ago so no detail here - needed a big decant (3 hours). All I remember was wow - love it. Was big though, very complex, red fruits, wonderful fine silky tannins, great balance and young. Still approachable. leave the next for 2-5 years (5 is preferably).
