  This has taken a while to come round. Now in perfect drinking peak. Rich, kirsch, black raspberry, chocolate nose (really black forest gateau!). Palate is rounded, medium-bodied, with great finesse and lacy tannins. Spherical with a slightly short finish. Like a cross between burgundy and very fine southern Rhone. Intriguing!

  Elegant ruby in the glass. Rich, round, but somehow refreshing, with a spicy strawberry note. I think it's at or near peak drinkability. I was lucky to get this bottle for $22 4 1/2 years ago, as contemporary vintages are selling for almost double that.

  Birthday dinner with a friend. Magnum. Pizza with zucchini. Magnum retained fruit and minerality. No sign of age. Perfect bottle.

  The 2016 is still holding up. Tannins are plush and the fruit still sings of cranberry and sour cherry. The wine is maturing, the acidity less zippy than I recall. A dinner companion commented that the wine drinks like maturing rioja.
