Opened 1900, decanted 2100. Supremely aromatic. A remarkable amount- two full dessert-spoons- of what is not so much sediment as sludge. Appears to be on good form.

G91. Glorious red, 50% opaque. Full bodied and red fruited, slightly closed, some menthol and violets. I like the weight, but it's slightly closed as if needing more time in the cellar. Liked.

I bought a case of this more than a decade ago. It sounds like I drunk six of them by mistake.

60% opaque, dark red wine. Dark fruits, juicily pleasant on the palate, with some prunes. Quite good.

Medium colour, with not much on the nose. Quite nice in the mouth - some fruit and soft tannin. OK.
