Three plus years on from my last note and one point less. Nonetheless this is a wonderfully well preserved bottle from a fantastic vintage.............

This is incredible for its age and being a village wine. Cork was in perfect condition so I suspect this has been recently re-corked. Fully mature appearance; the lightest of orange tints but no browning. It's still fresh on the palate - has a distinctly citrussy edge to it and still some soft cherry fruit. You can tell it's mature but it's not past it despite its age. A rare treat.

The burgundy bug hasn’t bitten me yet. I was amazed by the nose this still had given its age. The preceding notes all sum it up very well and I agree with the scores.

Amazing this feels so young, still can smell some mature strawberries on the nose. Has life in it. Very good for a village wine, in great form

I agree with the last two notes. In tremendous condition for its age. Not complex, but gentle pleasing and with some length.
