Last of my bottles of this. They held steady and delivered decent qtr for what I paid on release. Still plenty of life and grippy tannins but I wouldn't want to go too long on these.

Illegible alcohol level due to label damage in my damp cellar. Long cork, not that dense. The colour is not very intense and tending to brown, with some marked turbidity. The nose is very good, if restrained, with red berries and some forrest floor. Better still in the mouth, with a mature feel and uplifting acidity in the finish. Silky mouthfeel. A few years ago, this came across as aggressively oaky, but the oak has been digested by now, and it contributes to the harmony of the wine. An elegant Morey.

This wine is holding steady, probably at peak. Plenty of grip and spice. Some nice black fruit and bold but not overwhelming tannins. A very nice premier cru from a fine year.
