91 Points

Tuesday, October 20, 2020 - I did not decant this but ended up wishing I had, because it took until the second evening to start unwinding. Mature, but with very concentrated notes of tongue-tingling berries and cherry, rather narrow in profile and slightly hard work - I think it needs another two or three years. At this stage, 91 is generous - more like 88 or 89: certainly classy and a fine wine, but not as enjoyable as it should be - but I think 91 will be at least what it is worth in the future.
