"Tasted at Christies’/Linden Wilkie’s 1971 dinner. This bottle is far superior to the one tasted a couple of years ago. It has a truly spellbinding bouquet that is just pure, unadulterated Pinot Noir. Hints of light red cherry, orange essence and rose petals, heavenly delineation and lift. The palate has just a hint of honey on the entry and then fans out beautifully across the tongue, seducing the senses with its iron-tinged, crisp red fruit. Just the poise coupled with intensity here, that only a great Burgundy can achieve. Long and languid towards the finish that really do not want to end. Tasted April 2011."
