One of those occasions where the vertical format really brought out the character of the wine. All the mature wines showed spicy fragrance, the merest hint of funk, red fruits, and a freshness and elegance. The 66/78/83/85/89 are already there; the 86 and 88 will surely get there. But there's a question mark over the later nineties wines, especially the 99 which was a very different animal.

Toasty, tea-like, grippy finish, amazing depth and vibrancy - a wonderful start
