I hadn't anticipated this lasting a decade, let alone being so fresh. This shimmered blood red in the glass and still had plenty of red fruit. Savouriness and acidity are here also. Maybe a little is lost on the mid-palette but this is more than enjoyable.

Old gold in colour but youthful in every other way. A floral, slightly honeyed nose and mouth coating apricot jam flavour. There is a musky bitterness too, but one that keeps it on the right side of cloying. This has a joyous confection to it, and so, it's no surprise that it works best in small quantities.

There's still energy here. A salty, mineral sensation in the mouth. Acidity too. The fruit is gone. No complaints.
