  July 11, 2022 - My last bottle of this was a little tired. Seems that was years ago, and those showed very well indeed. Well developed tertiary notes and vibrant. Well balanced - a delight.

  February 1, 2022 - On opening, some cassis notes. Decanted 1 hour. Lots of tertiary notes on nose (leather?). Something of a note of dry cider on the palate, possibly brett related.
  
  Better second day, brett note had blown off leaving nice tertiary notes on the nose and palate with some dried fruit.
  
  Definitely interesting, very impressive wine for only £10

  December 26, 2021 - Very good wine for supermarket prices, starting to head into tertiary territory, but no rush, this is Madiran after all.
  
  (As a side note, it's a pity that much else of the Chateau's output is sadly lacking the character of this particular cuvee).

  July 31, 2021 - Deep garnet colour, medium nose with some black-berry fruit and spice. Medium acidity, tannins integrated, little oak perception remaining. Medium finish, nice mature cuvee, good to very good for a £10 wine.
