PNP (wanted to see how it evolves). Nice, youthful, nose of damp forest floor, bramble and a hint of vanilla. Palette is youthful, if I didn’t know it was an ‘00 I’d never guess it if blind. Core of dark berries, ripe plums, a hint mocha and dark cherry. Long finish. Glad I have a few left in the cellar.

Decent whiff of straw/hay and cassis. Cherry came through on the first sip. This needed a decent decant despite being 17 years old so holding up well. Mellowed after an hour and the softness took away some of the tannin and pepper but improved the balance.

Still lush fruits and tannins in this vintage wine. Forrest berries, cacao, metallic, still full of punch and evolving over the past hour. Worth decanting!

(Les Fiefs de Lagrange) This showed poorly. Angular, dilute and pretty clipped on the finish. Decent nose of leather tar and red fruits but pretty dissapointing.

Decanted for about an hour - cork fell apart in bottle, but was still drinkable.

Mature and drinking very well - drink remaining bottles over next 3-5 years
