what a difference a bottle makes.This bottle was clean as a whistle. Wine shows not sign of aging in color, nose or palate. The wine is lush but not ripe and not rich in a borderline oxidative state. Mint, eucalyptus, oak and overall balance. just delicious. 95/96 This bottle had at least another 10 to 15 yrs. who knows what the next one will show.

Showing its age gracefully in light of the time period. The ripeness and richness are both very present. A bit honeyed but not in an overwhelming way. Though not a particularly long finish the wine remains present. Don't get the sense air or age will coax more out. drank over 3 hours. 93/94

A superb birthday dinner (Amsterdam): Ripe, a bit high acidity, gentle spicyness, frigale. showing persistence, gracious, stiil balanced, but don't wait with your last bottle(s).

90's Dujac Grand Cru and 2007 Ramonet: Slightly oxidized, drinkable but this lacked the cut and tension one would expect.

BBM in Atlanta: A very good bottle, in an outstanding flight. Less showy but nice.
