Two bottles tasted with lamb 24 May 2013; one very good: rounded fruit, good length. The second unquestionably corked and unpleasant; maddening.

Rich, lots of fruit; closed at first but opened up after 2 hours. Kept under Vacuvin for 2 days and it had softened beautifully; harmonious and delicious.

Jancis Robinson writes that this wine is not for her - too port-like. I revere Jancis's judgment but disagree over this one. It is inviting and welcoming, a wine that makes me happy. Sweetish fruit, softened tannins, smooth and full in the mouth, unpretentious but very good indeed for what it is. After 10 years it seems to me to be at its peak and I look forward to making this a regular glass or two with forthright food. The last bottle went very well with a rich cottage pie; just the job.
