  Same score as previous bottles, but this is more mature and pleasant to drink.

  2004 Moreller, plommer, blåbær, tobakk, fiken. Tydelig cab med en rikelig posjon Merlot. Nydelig nese. Tørket frukt, moreller, mineraler, en del urter, svart stein. Flott kompleksitet. Lang, litt mye grønt trekker ned. 90

  Celebrating the 30 years relationship of Frans and Adriana, June 10th (Babylon, Alkmaar): A surprise with its charming and fruity bouquet, a whiff of leather, some vanilla, cream and ths impressions continue in the taste. This is a ripe and balanced wine, gaining more secundary notes (tea) with a couple of hours of aeration.

  Bought a 12b case from Binny's 10+ years ago; I think this is the first bottle we've tried. I have the email but not the receipt so I don't have the price but expect it was well under 25/b. Decanted with normal sediment. Dark purple color with initial impression of fragrant red fruit nose, good fruit and mouthfeel. This followed a '04 Ch Duhart-Milon Rothschild and was noticably lighter in both nose and body--certainly pleasant but a lighter, simpler wine. I should have reversed the order, but we had not planned on opening this bottle. As my note on the Duhart for the same date indicates, the sweet braised pork hindered a proper evaluation of this so I am withholding judgement until I can give this a fair opportunity to show itself. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I'm withholding a final evaluation of this bottle but expect it is below outstanding-, though perhaps not far below; we'll see.
