Fairly impressive - lovely meaty nose, but vegetal notes rather to the fore. Will keep but there may be bottle variation - my last bottle 1 year ago was much better.

Drank from coravin over past 2 nites. Still good fruit. Wine is somewhat meaty, on the savory side. Pleasant pour that has held up nicely from a mediocre vintage. Drinking well but no reason to hold further

1999 Bordeaux @ Piccolino (Piccolino, Liverpool Street Stn, London): Really strong nose of roast beef crisps initially though that dissipates somewhat. Sweeter fruited on the attack. Nice fruit here. Resolved but with some tannin starting to poke through on the end as it opens up. Very decent. ***1/2

Very pleasant, silky sweat spot. Balanced fruit and acidity with medium length!
