As for last June. Dark and a bit malty. Not hugely developed but clearly not young either. Lots of sediment - decanting would help. Keep plenty longer still.

{cork, 13.1%} No decant. Medium sediment present Still a solid dark garnet, with just a little fading. Remains quite youthful, or at least not overly developed. Mix of currants and black olives. Restrained sort of character, with medium fine grainy tannins, medium acid. Subtle oak. Softening out, but not fully developed. Maybe just missing a bit of magic, but a pretty nice wine otherwise. More cellar time will be fine if your cork is as sound as this one (wet no more than 20%).

Nice, bit severe, well made, close to classic.

Great aged Cabernet. Starting to show its age a little. Perfumed and elegant. Oak starting to dominate. Drink in the next year.

Medium bodied with plum and blueberry flavours, but structure is fading and finish is little muted. Drink up.
