March 22, 2024 - {cork, 14.5} A bit murky, with sediment (should have decanted). Soggy but (just) intact cork. High pH shines through; lots of acetic characters, with ancient jammy fruity, little obvious primary fruit left, dissolved dusty tannins. Getting sort of dessicated on the patchy, warm but fairly simple finish. Used to be full-bodied ages ago, not so much now. Meh. Better at ten years old; this needs rapid drinking (or put it in the sauce).

April 10, 2022 - Hard to believe this is 17 years old. Still has tannin and a firm mouthful though this was a no decant night cap wine too. And a really nice one. Nice strawberry boysenberry nose. Structured layered interesting mid pallett. Nice acid and lingering finish. Wish I had more
