September 22, 2023 - This bottle opened beautifully albeit needing a good decant to show its full colours. It was a clear cherry red with some rust at the edges and evolved in the glass to a rich nose of red cherries, wild strawberries, raspberry, roses, porcini and Asian spices. The palate showed lots of fruit richness and lovely spice characters with a distinct lingering floral edge. There is balance and elegance here now confirming that real patience is needed with these wines before they show the full range of colours and lights they are famous for - 27 years in this case !

October 9, 2022 - Fully mature nose of red fruit, sous bois and spice. The palate has good acidity with notes of cherry, leather, earth and spice. Mature and in a good place. Racy acidity that is characteristic of 1996s.

September 7, 2019 - My last one of these, I thought it looked better a few years ago, that hard-edged '96 acidity is starting to overtake the fruit somewhat. Lovely but smoke 'em if you've got 'em.

April 14, 2019 - Initially rusty and closed this wine opened with airing in the glass for 30 minutes to reveal a dark red colour and a nose of pure black berries, currants, dark cherry, wild strawberry and spice. The palate is very linear with plenty of well-defined black fruits, touches of wild strawberry and Asian spice with a little earth at the edge. There is that 96 acid that slightly clips the finish but it is not intrusive with plenty of balancing fruit.
