  Part of an 83 tasting. A bit dusty on the nose. Tannins and mushroom on the palate. Like not live.

  My 40th birthday at 67 Pall Mall (67 Pall Mall): A generous late addition from Ian.
  Someone described this like the long lost price coming to reclaim a throne - it might appear humble was impressive when revealed.
  Gorgeous nose of powdery florals, plum, oud, sapid red and blue plum.
  Wonderful palate - crisp and clean and good intensity. Good acidity and long finish.
  Really impressive wine in some punchy Margaux company!

  Peter's 1983 extravaganza (67 Pall Mall): This was far from outshone in such exalted company! Sweet, lively nose that had all the classic aromas of mature left bank Bordeaux. So juicy and energetic on the palate, despite its savoury character, with a touch of greenness and a soft, elegant, spicy finish. A great bottle.

  Peter's 40th (67 Pall Mall, London): Crimson and correct in colour for an 83. Books, leather and dried fruits on the nose. Medium bodied with fine tannins and feels nicely evolved with decaying red fruits, tobacco and more leather on the midpalate. Really well balanced. Drank alongside 83s from Palmer, Margaux and LLC and deserved its place, even if it had to blag its way in! From Zalto Bordeaux.

  Démarrage un peu compliqué : bouchon qui part en morceaux (sorti malgré tout en une fois !), aromatique agressive qui m'a fait penser à un vin bouchonné...
  
  Il lui aura fallu un jour plein pour se mettre en place. Belles senteurs de bordeaux évolué sur le tabac, la cendre, le cuir, trait de vert, avec encore un peu de fruit. Attaque assez généreuse avec une suite un rien austère, serrée. Finale de bonne amplitude mais encore tannique.
  
  Sans doute pas aussi flamboyant que le 89 ou le 90 mais un classique solide !
