Anniversaire du Baron (Le Serpent): En magnum. Puissant, ample et complexe, dans un style austère, presque tannique. Une énergie impressionnante pour un vin de cet âge. Il prend beaucoup d’ampleur avec l’aération (pas de surprise c’est toujours ainsi chez Ramonet!). Très belle bouteille. 93 pts

A bit of a miracle find in my late father’s cellar, this was a spectacular bottle, with copious yellow fruit, spice and mineral depth. Delicious out of the fridge, it was 10X better as it warmed up towards cellar temp, with greater mid-palate weight and an infinitely longer finish. Why my dad ever bought this bottle is beyond me, but I am glad he did, yet sad he did not get to experience it.

Good to try this again after 6 years. Nose exhibits gun powder, spearmint, and ripe yellow fruit. It has good mid palate attack with generous power and concentration. It has entered into its peak drinking window. Based on the acidity profile, it is not for the super long haul. 92-93

A gorgeous bottle that is fully at peak with Grand Cru concentration and so much complexity/precision.
