Bottle variation at age from an era of crap corks. Prepared for the crumbling cork with and air pump. Again fading. Not as nice as the last. Drinkable but on just so.

Cork crumbled on extraction. Leftovers being strained by teeth. However wine is fine. 2 years further on in its dotage. Gently declining. Murky brown red. Alcohol noticeable in the porty nose. Softened fruits fine tannins. Big crust. Very pleasant but fading.

Under cork from an era of variable quality. Slight hint of brown in the vibrant red. Almost porty on the nose. Soft cabernet fruit. Lovely smooth tannins. Completely different to the bottle I wrote about in 2017.

A really nice drink that is probably at its best now. Plenty of colour, the nose is subdued but there remains plenty of black fruit on the palate. Tannins smooth, finish long and balanced.
