"Remarkably youthful all round, from the deep crimson colour, still brilliant, to the bouquet which still shows primary aromas, bright berry and mint together with a subtle patina of bottle-age development. The wine is rich and full-bodied but as smooth as silk across the tongue, the tannins gorgeously soft and the flow superbly even and harmonious, ending in a long, long tail. This is a Peter Pan wine."

"The colour is almost impenetrable, so deep is it. There is amazingly lush, opulent plummy fruit on the bouquet; the palate has layer upon layer of dark plum, cassis and cherry fruit with equally layered soft and supple tannins running throughout. Will be ready long before Bin 90A, though nonetheless has a 20-year future. *Gold*"
