Same bottle as Nutty08. Stood up for a week but had the clouded appearance of being shaken just before. Cork was fully saturated, but a decent high shoulder fill. Tasted like angostura bitters and having a much tastier 75 next to it highlighted the difference.

Expressive bouquet of blueberries, cassis, plums, menthol and bay leaves. Soft texture, medium bodied, with red currant, cassis, leather and earth. Round and mellowed tannins on the finish. Drinking very well, good bottle here.

After being wildly wrong on all previous guesses managed to get somewhere close based on the identity of the previous wines. Guessed a weak vintage from 70s because of the severe lack of fruit that was left and the brick red colour. Similar to the Cos previously, got to admire the history of the wine but wasn’t that stimulating on the palate.

Rhone Birthday 2022; 11/4/2022-11/6/2022: Never really came around. Was cloudy. Tart profile with a distinct orange rind note. Didn't seem correct.

Simple wine but a delicateness that was very enjoyable. The vintage is working against the producer.
