Collected from Octavian today after sleeping there since arrival in the UK. I had concerns about this - but no fear. Minimal bricking and bright dark red. Not dried out at all - dark fruits with pepper and spice, some olives, earth and liquorice. Good length. Very drinkable with energy, drive and excitement. Would be great with XMas lunch or with cold meats on Boxing Day. Decisions, decisions........

First glass from Coravin - usual refreshing self Next day hint of oxidation but ok 2 days later again - shot First coravin failure that quickly - not sure I’ll risk any other Cotats, and simply enjoy in one sitting!
