November 7, 2020 - May be slightly corked. Almost a gameyness to it. Overall pretty good.

August 17, 2019 - Biarritz. Excellent, as always. Impressive liquorice and subtlety. I think this 2012 was better than the 2010 of a few days back. Maybe it was the Magnum “effect”. A regular go-to affordable treat.
