  Not a blockbuster, but restrained and elegant, probably classic mature MdG. Mid-weight, soft berry fruits, rounded tannins and balanced acidity.

  A magnificent Mas de Daumas Gassac vertical from the private cellars of Allard Jakobs (Restaurant Sinck, Amsterdam, NL): Magnum. Early maturity, rich fruit, liqueur, firm but ripe tannins, rich aromas, lots of power but no lack of elegance, black and youthful fruit, a wine of real majesty, but needs much, much more time. Revisit after 2030. Score based on potential. I am afraid that the mathusalem in my cellar may outlast me...

  Drunk too cool and not decanted. Therefore not fair to judge, but the tannins dominate the fruit....though there wasn't much sign of softening even after a couple of hours. The dense deep colour of the 2020 bottle had mellowed somewhat.

  I'd say this is still too young. Still tightly coiled on the palate, and quite tannic, even after a couple of hours in the decanter.
  
  I'll be leaving my other bottles for a few years, and really have no fear in doing so, as there's a lot of substance here, my only fear being it may always remain a little austere. We'll see.

  Absolutely lovely. Mid-weight, vibrant and full of juicy dark fruit.
