From 75cl, optically perfect cork. Lot L-1011. This vintage came in two guises: Brilliant, clean and fresh, and manure-like/oxdised. Alas my last bottle belongs to the smelly camp. Sulphur/cow-excrement smell, musty entry, some quality and minerality discernable on the finish. In this condition 84P(?)

Nice aromatics on the nose give way to ripe apple, pear and tropical fruits, all rather creamy on the palate; This is rather full-bodied and forward, but remains in balance

From 75cl. Corked. Lot 02/11 according to the back label. Lot 10/11 has been fine in my experience, but I shall be keeping a close watch on my remaining bottles of 02/11.

WES - Priorat & Monsant (LSE Holborn): Pale yellow. Clear and Bright. Creamy but sharp nose with a hint of hot alcohol. Touch of warm spice, citrus - satsumas, hot finish.
