From magnum, this was breathtaking. As close to Burgundy perfection as could be imagined. Lively, sweet fruit and an earthy truffle essence that only comes with age. Immensely grateful to drink this classic. The kind of wine you think about for days afterward, truly profound.

Appealing funk on the initial nose with faint petrol notes. Core nose of intense acid, yellow floral notes, dry lemon zest and light spice. Smooth across the palate with a slight tart citric acid finish and faint wood notes. Beautiful mature bottle. 96-97

Premier Cru Table (The Fifth Avenue Hotel): Incredible power and fineness but just missing a touch of the stunning electricity common in 80s. Still a huge wine. 94

Rich and smooth palate here with good power, although it began to come apart slightly on the edges after an hour. Still very composed. 95-96

A stunning bottle. Almost made up for the poxed Monty 2000 opened the day before
