  Lovely cedary nose once its had 30 mins in the decanter. In the mouth it's pleasant enough with tertiary leather and some gentle spice, but all the fruit has gone. I think this would have been better 5 years ago.

  Deep, brick red. Rich, ripe fruit on the nose; woody, briary, leather. Very smooth texture. Intense but not full. vibrant and fresh. Some tannins (resolved) giving structure.

  Wine felt it was past its good times. The aromas were fairly thin and uninspiring.

  This batch is faulty. Such a shame. 5 left. I will keep trying but not hopeful

  Christmas Day with rib of beef. Archetypal. Not too much ripe fruit any more. Structure and freshness to the fore. 12.5%. (From magnum.)
