Glorious resolved Cabernet. Dark currant fruit with lovely Brett notes and great purity of fruit. I thought this was classic Bordeaux. It wasn’t.

Showing very well, but not quite like the 1978. Fun Birthyear wine alongside the 82 Palmer.

Bon vin mais dispendieux pour la prestance ! Corsé aigre, pas dans ma palette. Doit respirer, manque d'équilibre à mon goût mais pas mauvaise dutout.

A treat. Totally fresh and perfectly mature. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Garnet centre with wide terracotta rim , slightly hazy with very fine sediment. Quite a lot of spice and sun kissed dried plum and blackberry fruit , tobacco and sous bois, slight balsamic notes . On the palate it fills out well with round dried dark fruits , spiced plum, good acidity , slightly rusty tannin and decent length . Still showing well and continued to performed well over 3-4 hours, but drink now and over the next 5 years.
