“G8 summit – Milestones and memories of my past” (non-blind), Wine 5: The year in which my dear friend and generous host obtained his PhD. The wine was medium ruby in colour and had a classic nose of red and black fruit, cabbage, cedar, spices and a hint of mint. On the palate, the wine showed red fruit, cedar, mint and lovely spice flavours, with lively acidity, fully resolved tannin and incredible length. The smooth and incredibly balanced wine went on and on and on! So balanced and long! Just lovely! This well-preserved bottle, stored in my friend's cellar in perfect conditions, was the most mesmerizing bottle of Mouton I have had to date.
