Redcurrant fruit aromas are still there but plenty of secondary devlopment and the first signs of tertiary decay. Nice mature Burgundy, red fruits, a bit of undergrowth and a hint of mushroom. Nice but drink up.

The best bottle of this so far. Tastes mature, nose as a nice mix of earthy cherries and redcurrant - plenty of forest floor though subtle. Good red fruits, secondary characteristics showing well and more depth to it than previous bottles. Excellent.

Better than previous bottles, more browning at the rim showing greater maturity and all the better for it. While only a light to medium wine it showsn a nice mix of redcurrant, cherry and sous bois on the nose. Good depth of flavour in a lightish wine. Not profound but plenty of red fruits giving way to earthy, gamey notes as secondary characteristics of maturity kick in.

Still showing fruit notes of cherry, nice minerality and medium finish. Surprisingly still fresh

Vestiges of greatness. Pretty much played out. Still some lovely dark fruit notes with fern and mint.
