  This is now opening up well. There is still some tannin, but the rich, dark plum fruit is dominant. The palate is full and savoury, and the finish is long. A fine example that should keep well and continue to improve.

  Improved after a few hours open, still plenty of fruit with well integrated tannins. No rush

  I have one more bottle. I'll give it 5 more years. It remains what it was: stiff and a bit hot. Not my preferred style. But this will still appeal to many.

  A fine, elegant St Emilion, with good weight. Ripe plum/blackberry fruit, with some discreet tannin. Just about ready with a good decant (the hour or so I gave it was probably not enough), but perhaps try again in 2+ years.
