Served at a pre-70th birthday bash (theirs, not mine!) by very generous friends. Incredible projection of super scent. Unbelievable taste of rich fruit, pure Christmas pudding. The longest finish in the world. Totally enchanting - I nurtured my glass all evening. My last bottle, at the Domaine, was slightly oxidised but this was perfect - at this age, it is the luck of the draw and, this time, boy, were we lucky. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
