95 points -- ... A deep garnet core with brick rim - quite youthful for a 42-year old wine. A lovely, seductive nose of hot bricks, molasses and redcurrants... good depth of fruit with surprisingly chewy tannins. Still fresh, utterly harmonious with a silky finish of raspberry, wild strawberry and cepes. An elegant wine, at its peak but with the depth to sustain it for a few more years. Tasted April 2006.
