Saturated cork. Opened two hours before serving and decanted for an hour. Light sediment. Surprisingly dark clear garnet in the glass. Intriguing woody nose.
Initial intensity broadens out into a sensual, poised, rich palate. Sigh of satisfaction.
There's no need to make up flavour-similies; this just tastes of genuine classical old-style claret. Which is really like nothing else. Gorgeous.

Lovely dark clear warm brick. Sweet mature nose. Soft, lifted palate of red fruits. Not overly complex, completely delicious to drink.

This has finally come around! I had a bottle a couple of years ago - it was rather soupy, tannic and (I thought) over-extracted. Now (2021) it has started to sing. Polished, deep black fruit with a little lift of warm spice. Maybe a bit on the modern side, but drinks beautifully with roast beef. Patience rewarded.
