  Another superb showing. All the parts have melded into a luxurious, sublime, velvety treat.

  Birth year wine for my brother - I thought this was drinking very well, perhaps the fruit was a bit dried/raisiny compared to some of the younger bottles we popped, but that isn't a negative. Still alive and balanced and with enough fruit that even some of the non-wine geeks very much enjoyed it.

  Simply sublime. These old Burgess are still holding their own. Smoky, vibrant black fruit, a bit of liquorice, sous bois, and a decent level of acidity. Lucious, satiny texture that you want to keep rolling around in your mouth.

  Superb. Showing 10-15 years younger than it is. Vibrant fruit, zippy acidity, excellent weight and depth, beautifully balanced. The profile of a left bank Bordeaux. So much better than it has any right to be.

  A big wine w depth of fruit but resolved tannin and nice depth of red and dark cassis fruit. Really pleasing and delicious. My last btl and it killed with summer burgers off the grill.
