At a tasting... Had apparently been stood, decanted, stood and re-bottled, but it was still mighty cloudy. Chocolate and soft mint. Petrol and some VA. Lovely, very-sweet damson fruit. I really like the acidity here. Is also notably dry on the tongue, but that's constantly compensated for by the sweet fruit. Toffee notes. Ok, it's all rather exaggerated at this age/state, and it's a wine of extremes but it's darn entertaining and enjoyable! 91-92, 92.

very cloudy - enough in it to think it would have been delicious a few years back
