Quite tart and bitter upon opening, but 45mins in the decanter it started to open up a bit. Great colour still, a little floral and sniff hard I am sure there is some fruit there somewhere. Smooth, integrated, even coating of the mouth, medium sort of finish. Wont improve in the bottle, but will hold for a couple more years yet. I don't mind this at all. Quaff now.

Bit of back palate zip about this wine, cant quite put my finger on it, but it fades slightly after time open. Decent quaffer though for 3rd bottle of the evening, taste buds definitely woken up from any potential exhaustion.

Quaff. Quaff. Quaffer. Bit old for its time. May have been better in the 80s. Won't last to the next month.
