From 375 ml. Better than last year’s bottle. Dark and red berries and good herbs and spices. Full bodied and in fact still youthful. Can be cellared at least another 3 years.

Hmm. I have a few bottles of this, partly inspired by JLL's warm words. On opening I found this... A bit dull and a bit spiky at once (don't try to reconcile my language). Half of it was placed in a screwcapped half bottle, and the next day (tonight) it is more polished, inviting - so Mrs D was right, it's not too old, and is perhaps in an awkward phase and needs a little more time. I'll find out in due course....

This is flattening out and losing much of its fruit.
Some residual blackberries with figs, prunes, earth & forest floor.
Ok, but needs drinking up.

From a half bottle. Light weight. Pleasant red berry fruits and garrigue. Good acidity. Tasty and pleasant. Ready now.
