  Final bottle and still drinking well, and my assertion in 2021 that it needed drinking up then clearly wrong!
  Still some primary dark fruit flavours with figs, prunes and earth.
  An enjoyable association, a few bottles of the 2009 left!

  Fullbodied, powerful wine. Dark color, fruity and sweet nose. Bouquet of dark cherries, blackberries, vanilla, cedar, balsamic notes. Well balanced, silky and medium to long finish with a wonderful sweetness. I believe the wine has many more years ahead (it seems to be a very different bottle from the one of Mr. Gutierrez in 2014…)

  Penultimate bottle.
  Similar comments to last year, although enjoyed this more.
  Still some primary dark fruits present.
  I’m struggling with this as I keep changing my opinion!
  Tasting it today I would give it another couple of years drinking after saying that it needed drinking up.
  I will save the last bottle for 2023….

  Cork disintegrated when opening, but wine not corked.
  Deep garnet.
  Brambles, blackberry nose.
  Similar palate with leather, dried fruits, forest floor.
  Didn’t enjoy this as much as last year and I think it needs drinking up (have said it before!)
  Drank the 2009 recently which was far better.

  Virtual Bordeaux Blends (Online): Poured into jars at 4:30pm, drank a small glass at 7pm and over 3 hours. One of several wines tonight that should have been decanted. Cherries and fruit, quite tannic, astringent and slightly sharp. Still, it managed to be my 3rd favorite and improved with air time, with tobacco and earth.
