Considering it's age and vintage I was prepared to throw this down the sink but I was very pleasantly surprised to drink a well matured Claret that is still giving a great deal of pleasure.

Regular dinner group (@ JvT): Tasted from magnum and the wine was a complete surprise. Although completely mature of course and with a firm amount of acidity, the wine was still a pleasure to drink and not completely over the hill as you would expect of this vintage. Impressive! Nevertheless I will not score it.

Ard & David’s 50th birthday dinner (Chez David, Amsterdam, NL.): Upper shoulder level. Fully mature colour; mature nose, lively but old, cedary warmth; drying and tough palate, very tannic; bright but acidic finish. Deteriorates very quickly.

Christie's Pre-Sale Tasting (Amsterdam): Sharp and metallic acidity. Unpleasant.
