December 17, 2023 - 13.5% abv. Remains pretty opaque but not impenetrable. Some ageing on the rim. This bottle a notable step up from the bottle 10 days ago. A touch green on opening again, but more aromatic & classic with a light but silky palate. Some loganberry a then gorgeous high-toned cigar box notes. A somewhat short and diffuse finish perhaps the obvious let down. Definitely some charm and a crowd-pleaser. Went superbly with roast beef.

December 9, 2023 - Decent Bordeaux style. Touch of green on opening but this fades. Better after 30 mins or so. Never shouty but a complete and satisfying wine.

February 13, 2019 - Thiis bottle was much better. In great shape actually for a 15-year old wine. Elegant Cabernet
