February 25, 2024 - Still showing superbly. Cedary nose, ripe and smooth, plenty of life here

February 13, 2024 - A proper claret. Not as rich as the 82 and a tad more on the dry-side: spicier, cigar box-cedarwood and more red than blue fruits.

January 26, 2024 - Two bottles tasted, both ex-chateau, and one distinctly better than the other. Both show an element of unsmoked cigar and old leather that isn't surprising for '83, but the better example is distinguished by the fact that the fruit really pops. The vivid blueberry and raspberry notes remind you of the success of the summer - until the troubles of August.

January 23, 2024 - This wine was the surprise of the evening. Ex-Chateau, this wine was great. It was fresh and bright, with a somewhat floral nose, that led to notes of plum, currant, blackberry, cedar, tobacco, forest floor. Lovely and long, though others at the dinner who had had this vintage before suggested that perhaps these ex-chateau bottles were in such good shape that they were literally the perfect expression of the wine & the vintage.
