A check in and didn’t take notes. Seems to have shaken off its awkward adolescence. Thoroughly enjoyed this with cheese and cold meats. Suggest no rush.

Out of balance. Fine nose but fruit not covering the tanin. Wasn’t unpleasant as such, but for a wine of this pedigree I was underwhelmed. Vintage and drunk at only 10yrs noted. Will leave the remaining 3 for 5yrs but I’m not expecting fireworks.

Reflects the season somewhat-a little four square up front. With a couple of hours decant it opens up a little. Enjoyable honest claret.
