Didn't really register, a bit lifeless though smell and mouthfeel was pleasant. Lacking wow factor would be the boring way of describing this. Four friends liked it but no instant praise. Past its prime?

Pleasant drinking claret on Christmas Day, restrained on both smell and length in mouth. Inky purple, wafts of cassis and wet cedar branches.
Alcohol 13 per cent but felt much less compared to first bottles in 2013/14. Bouquet less beguiling too - still had much of the bottle to myself at least.
