  quality tertiary leathery nose, somewhat oxidised
  lean structured, low fruitiness, mature aged fruity flavours, weak flavours, somewhat over the peak

  November 17, 2016 - In the beginning nose of instant glue, a bit dirty. Edgy and acidic.

  August 8, 2016 - A very earthy and leathery, secondary nose. Broad shouldered and a bit chunky but not graceless body. The palate's fruit has mostly resolved but still a hint of red to go with the secondary tastes. Nice woodsy notes on the finish.

  November 20, 2015 - Aged beaujolais is hard to find, but this was a nice example. It doesn't really resemble aged Burgundy either. Still plenty of that raspberry/pomegranate gamay fruit, with a lot of earthy structure that made this nicely complex, really this is about the soil/earth character. Lots of acid, held up well to red sauce Italian. Not the most elegant wine, but quite nice.

  May 22, 2014 - Very interesting! The nose is very aged, sort of leathery and metallic, smells much older than 18 years. It tastes much younger though, definitely some fruit, reminds me a bit of a jura red with some age. This was purchased from a private collection from Chambers - apparently there all also some recently released ex-cellar bottles going around.
