Shows plenty of mint, currant and mineral character on the nose. Full-bodied, with big and soft tannins. Plenty of mushroom, berry and fruity character. Opulent and beautiful. (JS, Web-2009)
Jancis Robinson
Delightful and fully mature. This was the red wine served (blind) at the AGM lunch of the Royal Household Wine Committee and charmed us all. The 1988s were chunky and austere for so long but, to judge from this wine, the best have come into their own at last. This was beautifully balanced, even if pretty dry but had evolved a delightfully classic perfume. No more than medium weight but with no tannins left in evidence. Very fragrant and complex. (3/2014)

January 20, 2017 - Deep garnet, developed nose of menthol, blackcurrant leaf, leather, cigar box spice, cedar, sous boie - undergrowth, damp leaf, truffle, or more woody mushroom like a cep.
On the palate, it has high tannins that coat the mouth but are not unpleasant - real backbone. The flavours are darker than the nose, coffee grounds, leather, meat. Woodiness, but not too unripe. Menthol, robust cigar leaf. Acid is still pretty high, which helps to refresh you from the tannin. It has only been open an hour, but I think 4-6 hours would have been much better. 92 now, may raise a bit.

December 25, 2016 - Served alongside 1983 Lascases, the Barton was the crowd pleaser, fuller richer, weightier, still holding a deep colour. However palate does not have the finesse of it's neighbour. This bottle was particularly good with none of the musty notes that sometimes come through with this vintage.

Delicate nose showed it's age and palate had just hints of some fruit but this had matured into a beautiful silky subtle wine. Faded a little (as the '95 came round) but a wonderful wine with some time still ahead of it.

Birthday dinner with family at Pennyhill Park.
Savoury, truffly, earthy brûlée dark hedge fruits aromas. Blackberry, integrated charred oak flavours nicely concentrated in a racy medium bodied frame with a long dry balancing finish.
Excellent if towards the end of its plateau, nonetheless should be good for perhaps another 5 years at this level based on this bottle.

2/21/2016 - THE VINES THAT BIND WROTE: 90 Points
Deep but clear garnet in the glass. Good bouquet of ripe blackberry, blueberry, currant, and ripe red and black cherries. Also floral. Some vanilla and stoney minerality. Red cedar, dark teas, and some damp earth tones. Smells classic and drinks well - in a good place for right now. Tannins have mostly melted away. Not overly energetic but certainly still alive. Very pleasant.
