  March 1, 2014 - As noted by another taster noticeable baked taste with a lack of fruit. Bad bottle hopefully

  June 17, 2013 - {cork, 14.5%} Decanted & drunk immediately. Looks dark garnet. Smells enticingly of black fruits and fruit-cake. Palate is a different matter; it's suddenly hollow and metallic, with a thin sort of astringency and no generosity on the finish, which is shallow and hollow. The whole thing has a slightly baked quality to it; I'd suspect heat damage in storage (provenance was unknown) except for the fact that the nose was quite expressive. No obvious cork-related problem. Just not up to scratch, somehow. A disappointing showing from a quite well-regarded vintage.

  December 7, 2012 - Breathed for 30 minutes. Good fruit and sweetness through mouth. Taste lasts on the back palate. Drinking well now and could improve a little more over the next few years. [cork, 14.5% alc]
