  Last bottle of a half case and as others have observed plenty of bottle variation. This was probably the soundest and most youthful of the six. The drawback, the fruit seems to be fading and it's become a little severe.

  Sjaak's 40th birthday dinner (Groot-Ammers, Netherlands): It looks like there is a lot of bottle variation with this wine, but this bottle was pretty marvellous, as already indicated by its youthful colour. Mature and intense flavours, fresh and energetic palate, crisp acidity, very powerful for a Carbonnieux, cream and vegetables, excellent length. Belies its age.

  No need to wait here as this is a full-maturity. The yellow citrus and green apples, with their honeysuckle accents, remain sweet and fresh, though you should consider drinking any bottles over the next few years before the fruit fades.

  Avec sa bouteille en verre clair, attention aux UV! je vois beaucoup de CR où le vin est défectueux...
  Celle-ci n'était pas abimée, le nez était même explosif, très bordelais blanc, très Pessac je trouve, ou dominait la pêche blanche et qq effluves exotiques (goyave, ananas), du floral et des epices douces. La premiere gorgée avalée, ce qui choque c'est le côté mou de la finale, le vin est plat, sans tension, comme si apres l'attaque flamboyante et le milieu de bouche en rondeur, il ne se passait plus rien.
  Avec l'aération cela s'est (un peu) arrangé, une timide salinité a tenté sans toutefois la sauver, de s'immiscer.
  Sans doute un peu tard, mais quel nez!
