  Fruit Day - Decanted off a small amount of sediment. Still dark garnet core with little sign of maturity. Rich and ripe dark fruit on the nose and palate. Later, the fruit started to drop and the tannins and a bit of green/herby character shows. Perfect with horseradish crusted roast beef.

  {cork, 14.5%} No ullage, cork barely 20% wet, but very spongy. Holding on! Brick, hinting at tawny hue. Aged nose, composty and leathery old red, not varietal, but lovely all the same. Aromas hinting at volatility on the way. The palate is very good if you like older wine; not especially complex but with all the old wine flavours you'd expect. Bits of forest floor, milk chocolate, rotting strawberries. Someone mentioned cola - yes, that's still here! Somewhat trembling acidity, with low gritty, drying tannins. Medium weight, but the alcohol is giving it a real lift. Medium length finish, offering less interest as time goes by. For a cheapie nearly twenty years ago, you could hardly complain. Half a dozen years past its best, but still a tribute to the soundness of the original fruit and winemaking.

  Fruit Day - still dark to rim. Nose of dark plum, earth (maturity showing), dark chocolate with a touch of spice. Smooth and soft on the palate (almost too velvety but there’s enough tannin left for it to have life) with cola and plum. Finish is only medium but I’m impressed this has held on this long. Drink up!
