  There hasn't been a note on this bottling in a while. For all you out there that still have a bottle or two in your cellar this bottling remains vibrant. Of course, the cork will crumble, but at almost 30 years the wine remains balanced, with raisins, strawberry and oak as the prominate notes. If you have well maintained bottles of this wine, don't discount them, you are in for a treat.

  Cork disintegrated - Durand to the rescue. Wine in excellent condition, fruit has faded but plenty still going on, some tobacco, hint of spice, sandalwood, sightly meaty, enough acidity to keep it fresh. Delicious now but shouldn't fall off a cliff any time soon. Only £18 a few years ago - bit of a bargain!

  Very crumbly cork. Recommend Durand to open. This needed a solid 2 hrs in a decanter to calm down. It was very rich, still alot of oak notes with fig, chocolate, and raisin notes until about 2 hrs. Then the dried fruit component faded and sweeter fruit appeared long with more mature earth, mushroom and cocoa. Relatively integrated tannins and good acidity. Medium body. Nice bottle, if they are well stored, this wine should last a good deal longer.

  High shoulder fill. Crumbling cork. Maderized, oxidized wine. Shame.

  Now we are talking! Coffee, mildly creamy palate, smoky, fragrant, zephyr on the nose. Soft herbal note to it, beauty.
