  Deep ruby/garnet, narrow rim. Plummy quite opulent nose, though there is something slightly musty from time to time. Quite mouth-filling, plummy fruit, soft tannins, has good length but not as expressive as previous bottles if still enjoyable.

  1989 Bordeaux Horizontal - London (Piccolino, Exchange Square): If served blind I might have placed this on the left bank, there is a pleasant meaty character, some smoky soil tones and some rose like florality. Something in the aniseed spectrum too. Some around the table who've had this previously thought other bottles might have been in better shape.

  First bottle from a newly purchased owc. Poured into a decanter to serve. Lovely old claret with sweet dark fruit, forest, licorice, leather, and earth. It had a silky and sweet palate with poise and transperency. It was round and penetrating. 92-93

  A beauty, silky and fresh, dry yet deep, volcanic and rocky, filled with mint and an exotic hint of licorice. Lighter and brighter overall but with enough body and layering to cover all the bases. Still, this does the job mostly through intensity rather than extract, giving it an ethereal transparency, an octane. There’s a divine savory, mineral note in the finish. Terrific. 93+ pts.
