Surprisingly young taste with fruity cherry and coupled with light streaks of pepper and meat. Very light tannins and medium acidity. Should drink well for a while still. My impression is that this has gotten a fuller body with a couple of years in the cellar and there is still no maturity tones.

ENO American Bar (Rodelinda - Handel). Continuing to represent good value but just coming off the peak of the earlier notes. Drink up this year to get best out of this.

American Bar at ENO (Magic Flute). Limited note taking. Well made medium bodied Crozes with smoky red fruit aromas and flavours and good acidity. Some dusky complexity and race. Fully ready with perhaps two years ahead of it. Good value off the wine list - bonus point.

Opened with a very smoky nose. After half an hour, bright, red cherry dominated the nose and palate. Medium plus acid and body. Nice QPR.

ENO American Bar (Billy Budd).
As per my previous note, this wine is holding up well and continues to represent good value on the ENO's wine list.
