In 2009, I had this again, from our own cellar and for my birthday. It had spent all its life in two very cold cellars and so it had a great level and a film-like deposit on the side of the bottle. Completely deep, dark colour to the rim. The most intoxicating, chocolate liqueur nose, all opulence and luscious blackberries turning to black cherries. An unbelievable sweet candied violets taste. No sign of any physical decline, or volatility. Glorious flavours of a compote of plums. We decanted it half an hour before drinking and, after 40 minutes in the glass, it had a bouquet of sandalwood. What tremendous impact - the most decisive Claret ever. I felt I had never tasted a more exciting wine than this bottle - Mouton 1945 is the 'classic', but this is the most deliriously fantastic. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 100

2009年我生日時，我再次從我們的酒窖中取出她來品嚐。她一生逗留了在兩個温度非常低的酒窖內，令她有著沈澱物在酒瓶旁邊。旁邊的色澤完完全全變得深沉。散發著令人最陶醉的巧克力利口酒香氣，所有瑰麗多汁的黑莓果也化身成黑櫻桃。令人難以置酒體減弱或揮發。有糖煮洋李的味道。我們在品嚐她的半小時前先醒酒，經過40分鐘停留在杯內，她發放著迷人檀香芳香。巨大的震撼力，前所未有最美味的佳釀。我覺得這是最令我歡喜若狂的出品。木桐堡1945年份固然是經典，但這瓶則令我最為興奮!
