Served with a classic pairing - Stilton purchased from Murray's Cheese Shop, the wine was deep purple, soft and only mildly peppery. It had nice balance with good fruit. The 375ml format was certainly drinking well right now with plenty of subtlety.

Did you find there was still a bit of heat\alcohol on the finish, the last time I had the 92' in a tasting i was surprised at the alcohol still coming off of it. This was about two years ago and it was from a 750ml bottle. Till next time. :smile:

I was surprised at the relative paucity of heat and alchohol on the finish. 375ml bottles do mature faster, which may be one reason why this wa relatively mellow. I was thinking this could possibly have been infanticide, but it wasn't. It was quite nice.
