  not chilled enough when uncorked, showing caramelized nose of honey, straw, marmalade, and cane sugar. Acidity was a little high. More pleasant after being chilled and aerated 45 minutes after opening. Peaked about 1½ hours after opening. Not as fresh, more oxidized than the last bottle opened 6 years earlier.

  Fourrier Griottes pre-Jean-Marie (The Ledbury, London): Dark, butterscotch nose, smooth, drinkable with vague appley fruit, but no oomph. (i hadn't realised I'd had this before, but my note from six years ago is almost identical)

  Fourrier Griottes (The Ledbury, London): Very dark gold, almost amber. A tad adelhydic on the nose, a touch of marmalade too. Slightly raw mushroomy. Full and slightly spirity feel to the finish. Somewhat past it.

  Decanted about half an hour before dinner, this wine kept improving until hitting a plateau about 2 hours later. A big nose with lots of toast, sweet like shredded coconut, straw, Chinese licorice, lots of ripeness, tobacco, buttery, sweet corn, nutty with a hint of coffee. Slightly acidic on the palate. Very, very good.
