  I think #9 of 12, sound cork, 1-2 mm ullage. Dinner party with rack of lamb and similar fare. Good depth, complex, length, but I think Ducster72 has this right: the primary fruit aspects are no longer present but the wine seems to be at an awkward "not quite secondary aromatics yet" stage. The gorgeous aromatics of ~ 5 years ago have become hidden again. Decanted an hour before tasting, that was not enough time. 4 hours after decanting it was still relatively tight but had not declined at all. I will let my last 3 bottles sit for a while!

  Retains deep colour; expressive, primary & rich bouquet, shows fine breed; suave & sophisticated palate, velvety, modest weight yet depth & structure; bold,ample finish. Drink over the next decade.

  This has a gorgeous, sweet, red-fruited middle. Lovely.

  {Bottle 8 of 12, opened and then decanted x an hour, sound cork} Initially a bit reserved but then superb fruit, big wine, very sophisticated tannins, forever length. Nose a bit reticent and then ... grew and grew. 94+ and easily the match of many Grand Cru Gevreys tasted recently with Confrerie group in June. Inching towards 95 points ... An hour decant might be too short a time, it was still improving during the 30 or 40 minutes it was in the glass at a neighbor's dinner party.

  Aging well and at its plateau. Earthy tone with elegances. Touch of mushroom tertiary notes at a good spot
