I'm a bit off clarets at the moment, having opened quite a few recently that had gone over. This one was a point, drinking beautifully and better on day two. A silver medal winner at the Blaye-Bourg challenge in 2003, this is still smelling and tasting of ripe black fruit with a warmth that is unusual for a St Emillion this old.
Probably got another couple of years left in it, but I won't hang around to drink the other 5 bottles I have.
7.5/10
