Opened 2h early. Good fruit and soft, food-friendly tannins, as before. It was surprisingly good with slow-cooked pork belly with all the trimmings. The fruit was richer, sweeter, and the soft acidity and tannins provided an excellent partnership with the food. Following the meal, it was even better. Lovely wine with plenty of life ahead.

Gorgeous, given time to open. All the positive qualities in my previous note so no need to say more. Excellent with a rolled, boned shoulder of lamb and on its own later. A great buy en primeur.

Drinking better on day 2. Richer throughout, good classic fruit and tannins. Drinking well now.

Fairly classic Bordeaux. A little light in the middle. Good finish, moderate tannins. Good now.

Reliable everyday drinker. Good value and vintage. Couple of corked bottles but whizzing through these 2 cases as they will soon lose a bit of steam.
