February 20, 2023 - Still fully intakt. Given the weak Vintage this was rather a surprise. Great balance, good acidity, very mature.

February 28, 1986 - Light red with a brown edge. Complex and mature bouquet with oak. Soft wine, no tannin, but pleasant and NOT dominating acidity. Light bodied, but a long and fairly complex aftertaste. Really a very pleasant drinking wine at the moment and better than Beychevelle of the same vintage.
