  95-96. Enchanting nose with an interwoven myriad of developing sous bois magic. You can just take time smelling this wine (without drinking it) and be pleased. A world in a glass! Ex-domaine bottle that shows room for even greater development! A treat.

  bottle excellent, cork depressed and fill top shoulder. Cork was black and funky, extracted intact. The wine was deep burgundy colored, not corked but had a Madeira character, some interesting old wine and cellar smells, but not great. I suspect this bottle had its travails along the way

  Sweet Plum and strawberry on the nose, showing mild intensity after a 45 minute decant. On the palate the acidity pierces a bit at first, with good spice notes, well resolved red fruits underneath. Medium, graceful finish. However, this showed intermittent and incomplete overall, not as much fruit as hoped.

  Fading garnet, but also darker than expected at this stage. This needed more than the 2 hours of aeration in decanter before it began to unfold all of its secrets. Savory, truffles, black tea, rich, black earth and molten cherries. Adds weight as the night goes by, but still better on day 2 than day 1. Weedy/stem, long, vibrant acids, plenty of grip. Wait 10-15 years; shows tertiary upside. Won't ever be a blockbuster (if this very well cared for bottle is representative), but will always be interesting; truly old school. 13,4% abv.
  
  Served non-blind alongside the '05 and '08.

  Bouteille de bel aspect. Couleur grenat moyen, mate. Nez discret, roses fanées. Belle attaque vive, milieu de bouche savoureux sur des réminiscences de fruits, finale un peu sèche. A dépassé son apogée mais cela reste un bon vin. Suis un peu déçu vu les bonnes notes attribuées, mais il s'agit sans doute d'une bouteille moins bien stockée.
