95 Points

Friday, April 12, 2024 - 1st of 24, pnp, perfect cork and level - darkening bright gold; nicely spiced, honeyed fruit, some marmalade and butterscotch, fresh surprisingly and very complex; fullish, v long and persistent but much younger and apparently less concentrated than appearance would imply with palate some way behind nose, attractive balance, relatively early days and with much upside, 30+ years. VF (18.5)........I expected more and greater weight of fruit based on a couple of bottles I had in the noughties when it was massive and slightly OTT; currently I'd put this behind the 89 and 88.
