Last bottle from a case. This has aged remarkably well – very fine tertiary cedar and truffle notes with delicate black fruit and still a hint of floral freshness. Some sweet roundness to balance the slightly drying tannins. Tastes much younger than 20 years.

Fine red berries with subtle forest floor, rose, rosehip and tarry notes and just the hint of aged leather. Ultrafine tannin, highly persistent and elegant. Excellent now but will surely hold.

A wine with a questionable pedigree and I've also had my share of VA-riddled bottles. This, however, was clean and lovely to drink. Not very complex, with many light strawberries, cream and dried herbs, with some dry notes of leather. Definitely not showing the concentration or greatness expected from the vintage, but drinking surprisingly well and enjoyed very much.
