  Still great fruit and deep red garnet colour. Tar and smoky back palate. Mineral driven red fruit. Mocha and burnt dark chocolate. Elegant. Structure still good and in balance with the fruit. Long and complex. Drinking now but this is still alive and kicking, will last forever.

  Impressive Smokey dark fruit. Great sweetness. Lovely silky and round in the mouth. A little shy on the nose and showing it’s age but still really nice. Drink now.

  Drank in London
  Alive and kicking, deep rich tar and forest floor.

  PnP. Another bottle with slight hints of TCA and never went away, mild enough that’s drinkable. Excellent acidity to keep this really lively, good concentration and length. In its prime now and really no hurry to consume the rest of the case.

  Tasted a little dusty at first, but I was feeling confident that it would clean up given the deep purple color and beautiful aromatics. After an hour or so it was singing and so fresh -- perfectly mature and smooth as silk, with plenty of sweet dark fruit and bright acidity. So elegant and layered, this exceeded my expectations for sure. The ullage on this bottle was very good given the age, so perhaps that helped my good luck with this one...
