  Truly lovely, exotic, sexy bouquet with some hedonistic flair wrapped up in an old school, tertiary package of earth, leather, and black tea. The palate is a step off the enchanting nose, with an engaging attack of kitsch and sweet citric notes, but it fades in the mouth and shows a lighter body. Fully resolved of course and in drink-immediately mode, but holding. A treat.

  Fida La Fleur Petrus lunch w/Christian (Charlie Bird): Bright and really pretty. It starts off a bit tight and maybe mustier but that seems to pass in the glass.

  Elegance personified. Highly perfumed nose of purple flowers, sweet tobacco, earth and blue fruits. There's a honeyed vinous sweetness in the mouth, countered by savoury nuance. It is only mid-weight but deepens with air. Structural elements have all but melted away but the wine remains energetic the whole bottle through.

  Despite a poor cork, and with thin flavour at first, it opened up with 12 hours decanting to reveal soft fruit with fine tannins.
