A ripper, drank it quite a few years ago (magnum) in company with a lot of other good kit, Hait Brion, Chateau de Ampuis, etc... was in superb condition, clearly a ripe year with fleshy youthful fruit, ripe tannins, sinewy minerality and plenty of mature characters too, but not a single note suggesting it was in or nearing its dotage ... finishing with the assertively angular fruit cut and tannin profile you'd expect... opened up beautifully over the course of 5 or 6 hours... pity I didn't buy more, given that it cost me less than $800 aussie dollars (purchased in Australia, but effectively ex cellars)
