Sjaak's 40th birthday dinner (Groot-Ammers, Netherlands): Mid-shoulder level. Hint of volatility on the nose, meaty style, solid weight for a 1981, good tannic grip, a sturdy wine. Bottles with better levels may still be good. Not rated.

Füllstand: Very top shoulder / BN. Langer, durchtränkter, guter Naturkorken. Mit Nadel rausgeholt. Farbe: rot, intakt und nicht bräunlich. Nase: Rotbeerig, Champignons, etwas Tabak. Gute aber nicht besonders einladend oder groß. 0,0 TCA! Geschmack: am ersten und zweiten Tag moderat, ausgeglichen. Mittlere Konzentration und Länge. Ein wenig langweilig bzw. spröde. Eher rotbeerig als dunkelfruchtig. Alles ausgeglichen und balnciert. Korrekt, recht gut, jedoch nicht groß! 86-88 Punkte? Da am zweiten Abend noch intakt: bis 2023+ Ideal zu defensiv gewürztem Steak, Rind usw.

Perfect bottle with high neck fill and barely stained cork. Cherry pipe tobacco, clay, capsicum, cedar, a wisp of woodsmoke nose, really aromatically pretty. Acidic palate with insufficient fruit to support the drying tannin still, better with the prime rib than alone.

Internet forum group magnum tasting. (@ Klap): Very tertiary, but still nice and several nice impressions. Mushrooms. Quite much sweetness which makes the wine soft and friendly on the mid palate. Still juicy although the tannin is drying in the acidic finish. No score.
