  Decanted for an hour and then drank over a period of 3 hours. I was surprised that it still felt like a young wine and could have been aged more (I shouldn't have been). It felt muted in the beginning, but opened up by hour 2. Started off a little barnyard and earthy, changed to more leather and mushrooms with the night. Had fun with it. But I will probably wait a few more years before opening another '96

  From Mag, double decanted in the afternoon like last week, still needs quite some air to open up! Cork not fully soaked this time, not as much singing as the bottle last week but still a great showing…

  From Mag, double decanted in the afternoon, cork fully soaked, nice nose but muted taste at opening, fantastic showing at dinner with lamb racks, fully marure but with reserves for a few years left, great balance, old school and only 12,5% alcohol. Exceeded expectations!

  This was quite tight and closed initially, but opened well give blackberry, black plum, mineral and leather. Cedar, moss and soil note and a bit of brett that left this bottle a slightly smudged.

  Fantastic aroma of sweet, earthy, complex mineral fruits! Very dark colour. Rich, earthy fruits on the palate, dense and a clean, lengthy finish! A long way to go!
