  Lost something since my last notes three years ago. Still a very good wine but it’s just not as well balanced. Tannins slightly fading.

  Fully ready for drinking, the wine is medium bodied, with fresh, bright, cool, cherry and red plum notes, coupled with earth and forest leaf, with hints of tobacco. Soft textured, with bright red fruits in the finish, there is reason to age this any longer as it's already just a few months from its 20th birthday.

  1999 Bordeaux @ Piccolino (Piccolino, Liverpool Street Stn, London): Slightly muddy, diffuse nose. Slightly stewed element to the fruit. Seems a lot more evolved than it should do. Hope this isn’t representative. Bad storage?

  I would say give it another try in 5-10 years. After decanting for 6 hours you see the potential of this wine...

  Dry, fine tannins, easy drinking but a bit austere. Would have been better with food and a good wine to pair with a meal without being spectacular.
