BYO at Ariana II (Ariana II, Kilburn): Rich and saturated nose of Christmas cake with a prominent oak signature, some cooked strawberry. Broad and smooth with a touch of floral lift. Quite a solid, claggy palate for my taste: sweet and dense without much delineation.

A fine, mature Châteauneuf, intense, fruit-cake flavours, with spice and a savoury finish. Excellent balance and well rounded.

A fine, mature Châteauneuf, with raisiny fruit, some sweetness; elegant with a touch of spice. Perfect now.

A fine, mature Châteauneuf, with somewhat raisiny fruit, spicy notes, some sweetness and a spirity finish. A fine example for drinking now.

A dark colour, and an intense, rich and spicy wine, with concentrated blackberry and dark plum fruit, and a somewhat spirity finish. Fully mature.
