From 75cl screwcap, P+P. Chatters' CT TN from 27.05.2021 sums it up, but I suspect this wine has probably softened in the last 3 years, and perhaps lost some acidic verve. It seems amazingly full-bodied for its modest 10% alc. Fairly basic stuff, but holding up well, and with some years to go. 87-88P

d'Arenberg with Chester Osborn (Strand Cellars, Croydon): Lime cordial, lime peel, a little stony minerality, medium plus intensity acidity offset by slight residual sugar, lime, a little green apple is well. Long, simple but quite nice. Very slight sulphur prickle on the mid palate.
