April 3, 2024 - Didn’t have time to decant. Deep ruby-purple. Figs and plums, reasonably well balanced. Not as long on the palate as the ‘94 we had the previous evening.

March 18, 2024 - My last bottle of this great vintage. Nose of cassis and tobacco mainly with a hit of menthol. Palate is chewy, rich, dark fruit, tobacco, dark cherry, a hit of acid and a texture that just clings to the tongue for minutes....

January 5, 2024 - From 75cl, good cork, decanted off heavy plaques of sediment. 1 hour later: quite closed, much less sweet and less aromatically expressive than expected, just dried fig, elite raisiny fruit and gentle dried spice. Not sure what to make of this, so we transfered most of the bottle into a few small bottles for future visits. Updates and a points score follow. 89-90P tonight. 13.01.2024 update: cooked, pruny scent; cooked figgy palate; hot alcohol. 87P(?)
