I always loved this wine from the start and now, from magnum, it is terrific. Very aromatic bouquet, symptomatic of this late vintage. So much fat and glycerol on the palate. Finishes so spicy and lacy. The most recent bottle had a meaty nose. Tea and roses. Really rich and spicy. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

由始至終，我一直對此酒鍾情不已；陳窖至今的1.5公升裝作品，美得懾人。極為馥郁的芬芳，是這款晚收作品的一大特色。肥饒豐厚，口感充滿甘油的馥香。收結時又是無比辛香細緻。我最近嚐過的一瓶帶有肉香，以及茶及玫瑰香氣。無可比擬的豐郁辛香。施慧娜 (葡萄酒大師M.W.)

Wines have been stored at Crown Wine Cellars since the sale and have not been moved until recently for re-inspection. Each bottle carries a commemorative special label.

Some wines were purchased from a handful or reputable UK and European wine merchants, with recent vintages being bought on initial release.
