2/3. Pale/medium straw. Spicy, grassy, vibrant nose. Medium bodied, quite spicy and fresh on the palate too, gooseberry fruit, decent length finish with a touch of mineral. Drinking well - perhaps another year or two in the tank.

Neil’s Langoa Barton @ Hawksmoor (Hawksmoor, Guildhall): Palest greeny straw. Grassy SB nose. Fresh and zingy. Apparently 50:50 SB:Sem though it doesn’t feel it. Clean and zippy. Not complex but refreshing. Turns out this is consistent with A bottle from the same case three years ago. ***

@ Sexy Fish in London. Refined with citrus and floral notes. Fresh and enjoyable with the Japanese influenced cuisine here...

1989 Bordeaux at Piccolino (Piccolino, Exchange Square, London): Pale lemon. Zingy, grassy nose, touch of peach as it warms slightly, some weight on the palate, lovely vibrant acidity, nettle notes on the very good length finish.

1989 Bordeaux @ Piccolino (Piccolino, Liverpool Street Stn, London): Fresh, zingy, slightly grassy SB nose. More rounded and smoother on the palate, mid weight. Peach and melon. Clean finish. Very decent. ***
