Wednesday, November 28, 2012 - From 75cl. The glue-and-cork-bits "Diam" closure, which I am holding in my hand as I write, is unpleasantly gluey-sticky to the touch; it has absorbed about 1,5mm wine; it is spongey at the end. Anyone who tells you these composite closures are a plausible option for sealing fine wine has a commercial interest at stake. The wine in this bottle survived a little better than my previous sample; what remains speaks of a well-made, slender, pure red fruit-style PN with strong acidity and no perceptible tannins. Drink up before it disintegrates. 87P(?)
