  No decant; pop and pour.
  
  A smooth linear wine.
  
  Not a lot of complexity, unfortunately.
  
  Not much fruit to speak of; mostly modest grip and acidity.
  
  Those two elements are in harmony and make this a nice wine to drink with dinner, but not a wine you crave more of.

  Tasted at Armit portfolio tasting, London 2019
  
  Interesting, enjoyable complex wine with class to throw out the window. Stupid-money price at £120.00 RRP, so no bargain and rubbish value for money - because although very good, I'm not convinced it's worth that! - but if you weren't spending your money, hey, who cares?
  
  C...fading rim already at 7 yrs old
  
  N.....musty, interesting.
  
  T.....medium body, soft texture, warm spices; caramel, toffee, roasted nuts, savoury. Drying/puckering tannins, which was for me the only negative. A classy glass. Probably reward cellaring, but why wait?: drinking v well right now.
  
  VFM?...£120.00 ?? No. Maybe worth £70 ?
