  Happily, consistent with my last note from the summer. A lovely bottle.

  The best bottle of the 8 or so if these that I’ve opened over the last year. Cork came out smoothly in one piece which was a good sign and sure enough the wine was in terrific shape. Strawberry, blackberry and red currant on the nose with a little graphite. Plums, black currants and hoisin on the palate with good depth. There is a fine structure to this, with ample acidity but the fruit holds on and it finishes well. Not a long liver though so drink up.

  Never had anything from the 80s from this estate and it was a positive surprise. Clearly some good terroir! Light ruby. Very St. Emilion with light plummy fruit, some Xmas spices and a fresh mid-weight drink which went done very easily! Not the most complex but not overripe or falling apart my any means. More recent vintages are much more concentrated but I can see where all the great fruit has evolved from. Very interesting and fun bottle from Thomas to share with me!

  Thin and over the hill. Old Bordeaux. Tired. Mixed it with a 2010 Bordeaux which livened it up.

  Cork disintegrated, but wine was still clear and drinkable. After a bit of time in carafe, it was very round, medium dark fruits, and some nice spices on the finish. Not great, but for its age, still very nice with lamb and Stilton, two markers for tasting with Bordeaux. 91
