Friday, September 4, 2020 - Wife's Birthday dinner with family.
Variable case. 3.5yrs since my last. Very crumbly cork - nonetheless having forced cork in and decanted through a fine filter in excellent fettle. Lots of brulé, charred elements. Earth. Core of mature concentrated dark fruits and all very integrated and mellow with enough gentle acidity to hold it together. Nonetheless very much an elegant fading lady if still (just) up there!
One to go - for drinking soon based on this bottle.
