Took a little bit to open up and even when it did it was a very soft gentle wine, subtle appeal, fruit gone and left with earthy leathery secondary characteristics, very drinkable mind you. Museum release direct from Mount Pleasant. 2023 delivery. Under the Homestead label.

Museum release from Mount Pleasant. Ruby red still with tawny edges. Beautiful aroma… a lovely mix of fruit and secondary characteristics. I don’t really have the wine language … the flavour is soft and inviting, lacking some intensity but that’s not surprising I guess for a wine this old. Very enjoyable

With sausage pasta, still in pretty good shape. Delicious dark fruit still to the fore. Leather. Chewy tanins. I’m no expert but I would say close to its peak what with some age characteristics creeping in around the edges.
