Medium garnet; initially rich high note dark fruit, garlic, earth, fat; medium bodied on the palate; smooth, fluctuating; good acidity and a long dark fruit and treacly oak finish. Superb bottle!

Dark/ruby; beautiful dark savoury fruit with a touch of decay; smooth tannin; notice more acidity this time keeping it "bright"; also notice longer finish than last time; attractive balance. Want to keep sucking the taste out after every mouthful. Doesn't tire the palate at all - very comfortable drinking.

Continues to please. Not complex but not simple either; refined and very comfortably ageing...

Wines of 1997 Offline (Le Colombier): Bit of let down from previous bottles of this; this is the 2nd of 4 or 5 that hasn't sung :(

UK Wine Pages - 1997 Off-line (Colombier Restaurant - Chelsea): Quite chocolatey on the nose, spicy too. Slightly flat on the palate and a little tannic on the finish. Good.
