  Under cork - not sure why? Had this after a bottle of 2011 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges, as felt Shubert's style leans more towards the Burgundian style of wine making, perhaps that explains the cork? More oak and fruit that the French with less development. Lighter and fresher with a bit more development in it. Drink by 2028. A

  Gathering at Paul's: My experience was quite different from previous tasters - this presented as quite old-world in nature and I was very sure that this was a German Pinot. Smoky, slightly sweet nose, palate was delicate with dark cherry fruit. Very surprised this turned out to be a Kiwi since it didn't have any jamminess.

  From 75cl, optically good cork. Massively oxidised, smells like overripe fruit in a dustbin. This would not have happened under screwcap. Do not buy this wine under cork.

  From 75cl, good cork. Cooked plummy fruit as noted on 11.12.2021. This bottle was flabby, sagging, on its last legs. Bad news for a premium-priced PN at age 8. 84P(?)

  From 75cl, good cork, decanted 1 hour. Oh dear. Plummy, cooked damson-like fruit, 14.5% alc., tastes like a meretricious hot climate Grenache (blend?), perhaps from a lesser Spanish region, just saved by high pinot noir acidity and a hint of dried soy sauce. Fading fast, so drink up now and buy something else next time. Some residual hopes for my final bottle, but those too are fading fast. 85-86P
