  Superbowl with Turkey Chili/Cornbread
  Very crumbly cork and caked sediment to side of bottle.
  Shutdown upon opening but starts to open after about 20 minutes .
  Claret like nice scorched earth and dark berries. Light mixed spices.creosote muted wild blueberry.
  Alcohol in check.
  2 hours in and berries are really coming on in bouquet.
  At 4 hours some more herbal notes, licorice and muted mint.
  Great effort

  Big, bold, jammy, peppery, ripe, and overripe blackberries on the nose and palate with a strong touch of heat. Drink from 2022-2025.

  I liked this wine and it got better as it aired but then faded. I wish I’d drunk this wine earlier as I suspect it would have been a bit richer and stayed excellent a bit longer

  Det mest lättskadade vinet hitintills. Vi beslutade trots det att dricka upp den. Fullt drickbar men utan glädjefnatt.
  
  (Självspäkning:) Gissningsvis smittade vi den med den sparade kork vi pluggade igen den efter dubbeldekantingen. Samma problem vid förra vinet. Så: kastade alla korkjävlar och duken de var inlindade i.
  
  Fy fuckrn vad jag hatar korkjävlarna!

  Return to The Medlar (The Medlar, London): This has come together nicely since a slightly hot bottle in 2008. Mid garnet, quite evolved especially cf the Geyserville alongside. Briary fruit, really quite smoky on the palate.caries through to the palate with a sense of bonfire. Softly autumnal finish. Fireside spice. Heading towards a mature Rioja profile with a bit more body and bite. ***1/2
