  A magnificent Mas de Daumas Gassac vertical from the private cellars of Allard Jakobs (Restaurant Sinck, Amsterdam, NL): Magnum. Transparent nose, light pitch to the fruit, slightly drying, a slightly weaker vintage for my palate.

  This was my last magnum and tasting it was a particularly unusual experience.
  
  There was sediment, so I dacanted about 2 hours before I intended to drink it. The smell and initial taste were horrible, so I concluded the wine might be oxidised. I checked it again before serving, but there was no improvement. So I opened something else for my guests and put the magnum to one side.
  
  Three days later I came back to it. It had opened up beautifully! There was fruit on the nose and the palate was silky and smooth, albeit not long. So I drank a couple of glasses and put the rest to one side.
  
  Another two days later I returned to it again. It was still drinking well, perhaps less fruit, but pleasant nonetheless. I drank another couple of glasses.
  
  After another two days, I returned to the wine again. This time is was oxidised and I poured the rest away.
  
  The moral of this tasting? This wine takes a huge amount of time to breath and open up. So make sure you let it develop in a decanted or in the glass. Don't expect miracles, as it is 16 years old. But with patience, it will deliver a nice glass of wine.
