Starts off with a whiff of sarsaparilla and some compost notes on the nose. It breathes up beautifully, emitting a scent of rose petals, sweet earth, cherries and spiced plum. In the mouth it is a little sweet and sour, like many '97's. There's good depth of flavour and it really builds through the palate fanning out at the finish.

This has developed very well. Plenty of freshness, still some red fruits. Bit of spice. Singing. Much better than expected looking at prior notes - from a bottle I got at release.

This shows decently but unspectacularly. Ripe, sappy fruit, but notably flabby. Darkish in color and lacking much charm or power but it has a some suggestion of elegance, texturally.

Ramonet Montrachet Lunch (Phoenix, AZ USA): Served blind, bricking showed substantial age but the fruit remains in tact and there's lovely spice.

Lovely nose but fruit starts to recede a bit. Great wine but time to drink.
