This could still use a bit more time in the cellar — a month ago
Really starting to show well. An hour in the decanter really made it pop — 5 years ago
1997 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately, after 30 mins and after 2 hours. Threw a little sed but not much. Cinnamon, straw, rhubarb and strawberry on the nose. Light-medium body. Good focus and concentration throughout the tasting gauntlet; finishing with a couplet of dust and earth. Not improving but likely to hold the line for an additional 3-4 years. Love isn't always on time. No. No. No. 10.22.23. — a month ago
Superb showing - still has plenty of time — 2 months ago
Impressive depth showing through despite being slightly closed down at the moment. Black tea, spice, cherries, hint of earth and floral notes. Tightly wound and layered. Lay it down for a while… — 21 days ago

Heavier than 2010-12 but the extra oak is now integrated and it works. Unlike previous vintages, this one needs meat. — 14 days ago
