This has evolved to a different level than the last time we had this a year and a half ago. Completely blended, layers of red and black fruit, complex nose. Excellent, mature wine, but with no signs of fading.
We gassed it and tried on subsequent nights. 2 days later it was even better, more integrated. 4 days, it was starting to fade.

Dark centre, brown red rim, solid sediment. Attractive fruity nose, with hints of tar and tobacco. 14%, so full in the mouth. Strong tannins coming through, but the finish is like blackcurrants. Not sure how much more it would develop.

Enjoyed the last bottle with D&M -- Outdoors, socially distanced. Fine, old bottle. Similar to last notes -- fully integrated, delicious juice.

The Wine Society - The Wines of Spain (Merchant Taylors' Hall): Wonderful nose which says "drink me".
Very fruity, still youthful, great length.
