  August 21, 2019 - From a 375ml, splash decanted and started to drink about 45 mins later.
  
  Initially this hadn't settled down - a bit raw and acidic with little fruit.
  
  But an hour later it had got its act together: nice dark fruits on the nose, and also on the palate along with some pencil lead and old leather. Quite a long finish with a little bite and a little tannin, but rather pleasant.
  
  Classic middle-aged claret.
  
  EDIT 24/8/2019: there's a little bottle variation here: with a second 375ml and a splash decant there was nice fruit and balance straight away, and it held steady for the next hour.
