Saturday, July 7, 2018 - Dinner with Brian and Monica. From memory. Decanted for 2h prior to bringing it to restaurant and started drinking about 1 h into dinner and everything came together at the 2 hr mark. Just fantastic. Bright red and blackberry fruit, baking spices, flowers, hints of leather, earth with mild tannins on the end. Elegant and silky. Complex but with a bit of wild, alive edge. WOTN for me.

All I can say is that they're special wines and I think you're spot-on with your note and just how fantastic these wines are. Not only are they versatile...but even with 20+ years on them they can last multiple days with cold storage in the fridge. If you can find/source the 1995 do yourself a favor and grab one. That was the last vintage that Serge handled exclusively before handing over the reigns...
