Deep red in colour. Fully mature claret, tho' not in any way over the hill. Some minty blackcurrant on nose and palate with some lead pencil. Grainy tannins and decent acidity. Maybe lacked a bit of oomph, but very nice for all that.

Bought from The Wine Society. Upon opening the cork was soaked through and the top mouldy - like a 20yr+ old bottle. Mature nose, this is pleasent enough and easy to drink but lacking depth of flavour and complexity. Needs to be drunk ASAP! --- Update: After a few hours this was pretty much undrinkable - most of it went down the sink.

Mature claret from a decent year, has all the right notes but relatively simple
