BBQ dinner at Old Holland. Drank in Zalto Burgundy glass. Still alive. And actually still evolved a bit more with air. Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of leafy herbs, blackcurrant, blackberry. Developed. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), soft resolved high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of blackcurrant, blackcurrant leaf, tobacco leaf, grilled herbs, earth. Long finish. Very good quality. Love these off vintage aged Left Bank Bordeaux.

Damson, blackcurrant, spicy, herbal, black cherry, cedar and Jegermeister, as my 20 year old son described it! The palate has black cherry, blackcurrant fruit, spice and blackberry. Delicious.

This MF is still going strong. Maybe another year or two? Still have 4 bottles.

Nothwithstanding its age, this was a lovely wine that a friend kindly shared with us.

Past it’s prime but still a classic French Bordeaux.
Last bottle of a lot purchased at auction in 1999. Can’t take em with you.
