  A Trottertastic Saturday (Les 2 Garçons): Magnum. We rolled the Musar dice, and ended up with double sixes: this was wonderful, especially with the food. A sublime, spicy melange on the nose, with some tobacco. More spice and some violets on the palate, and an incredible amount of fruit: deep frutti di bosco, plums and strawberry boiled sweets, all rolled into a supremely smooth, flavourful package. Yes, the finish was long and delicious too! My wine of the lunch.

  Incredibly complex mix of mature red fruit, refined aak and gentle tannins followed by dry elegant and well balanced finish. Absolutely stunning wine with another 5 years life at least.

  Tasted next to the 1981 and 1982. Darker in colour, still quite glossy in the core with some evolution around the rim. Lots of sweet dark fruit on the nose, notes of cedar, hints of bell pepper, old leather, spices, earth and leather. On the palate grip, balance, depth, acidity. Very fine tannins, wonderful fruit, very intense and vibrant. Long. A fantastic bottle! No rush drinking up. 93-95

  I have to admit that I was concerned this was past its prime. However, 20 minutes after pouring this was a dream (needed to blow off a bit of funk). So impressed with how this has stood the test of time!

  Terrible aroma. Spoiled.
