  Drank with friends. Notes of red fruit like strawberry with an equal wash of acid, which contributed to a clean finish. Delightful. Even buying 26 year old bottles, it has a good QPR.

  Solid aged Bordeaux. Cedar shavings on the nose. Earthiness and dark fruit on the palette. Well integrated. At peak but no need to rush. If you haven’t had an aged Pauillac, this is a good approximation. Cellared since 2007.

  Long cork broke on extraction. Decanted off quite a bit of sediment. Full garnet gradation from deep in the heart to thin at the edge. Mature nose of dried sour cherry, black currant leaf, some green pepper, pencil shavings and dusty cellar floor. Medium-light bodied, high acid, low but astringent tannins, moderate alcohol, thin, dry finish. Flavours of thin dried sour cherry and red currant, pencil shavings and strong black tea. Quite grippy on the finish. Overall this has lost whatever fruit it had and is pretty austere now. Drink up.

  Breath for 1 hr, still juicy with sweet red fruits, silky and easy drinking.
