The second wine of Xmas Day (after Bucks Fizz for breakfast!) and it was a much more enjoyable experience than the first one I tasted. Similar description applies but I found the flavour altogether more creamy and complex.

Darkish yellow/gold. Powerful, waxy, almost fishy nose evident as soon as cork was withdrawn. Rich, complex and characterful flavour, but a wine where the taste doesn't quite live up to the promise of the nose. Improved with air-time and became more oily, but my final impression was a teeny bit disappointed, given the price.
