“Tasted blind at the Paris Tasting 30th Anniversary Recreation: “Extremely youthful crimson with hint of brick only at the rim. Very subtle but not especially intense. Hint of oyster shells. (Or do I make this Broadbentian comment just because I’m sitting next to him?) Lovely lift. Really racy. Still some tannin, old fashioned tannin, no tannin management here but great integrity and life. Could be Bordeaux. Very different flavours to wine 3 [Heitz] though similar structure. Neat finish. Could be Bordeaux.” 18(of 20pts) Drink til 2010 and beyond.

“Tasted Blind at the Paris Tasting 30th Anniversary Recreation: “Ruby color with slight brick at edge. Fresh-tasting black cherry and red berry, plus complex spice, leather and beef bouillon notes. Balanced: slightly creamy texture. Should be fine for five more years.””
