  Hmm. I have a few bottles of this, partly inspired by JLL's warm words. On opening I found this... A bit dull and a bit spiky at once (don't try to reconcile my language). Half of it was placed in a screwcapped half bottle, and the next day (tonight) it is more polished, inviting - so Mrs D was right, it's not too old, and is perhaps in an awkward phase and needs a little more time. I'll find out in due course....

  This is flattening out and losing much of its fruit.
  Some residual blackberries with figs, prunes, earth & forest floor.
  Ok, but needs drinking up.

  Deep purple in colour. Aromas of dark fruit and oak. Tobacco and black pepper on the finish. Medium bodied & medium tannins/acids. Tasty. Great value.
