Score 19/20 · Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 2002

Recorked 1996. Very very deep brownish mahogany; looks thick and treacly. Correct nose of sturdy deep richness. Intense flavour of a much more conventionally massive build than the 1899. Lots of ripeness and length and potential. 19 and still a long way to go. (JR)
