1998 Château Berliquet - this St Emilion grand cru was a wine I hadn't sampled in some years and I wanted to check on it to see how it was progressing. Good colour and structure, perhaps a tad reticent at first in the nose but it opened up nicely with airing, good fruit in the middle and a bright finish. I think it is still on the way up.
While digging this out of the cellar I came across a small stash of 1990 Chauvin which I intend to try very soon - it may well be sliding down the other side by now. (I think we need a smilie with crossed fingers for wines we hope will show better than we fear they might).
