  decanted 1½ hours after opening. Smoky nose with leather and a little woodsy notes. Improved after 45 minutes in the decanter, showing more fruit and sweetness on the palate. This wine needed time.

  Decanted briefly. Last bottle and I wouldn't wait any longer as the oak is starting to overtake the still-luscious red fruit. A lovely wine from a confusing vintage I've always had a soft spot for.

  Dinner out in Jersey with some friends: Nice to try next to the Macdonald to see how that fruit goes with time. This was totally fine although somewhat more one-dimensional (I put that down to 97 which often comes across that way to me).

  served almost 1 hour after decanting. Smoky, a bit earthy, minty. Less ripe and fruity than expected. Woodsy and fragrant 30 minutes after first serving.
