Clear red garnet. Good colour still. Not overly brown. First note remains clean red berry! Juicy plum as well. On the palate, there is dusty red fruit. Just a hint of funk. Notes of chocolate as well, even on day 2. Delicious, gentle red. Drink now but not falling over if well cellared (this is from my own cellar since release).

Found this in a corner of my cellar, must have been bought years ago. Happily it was still drinking well, very mature in a full flavoured porty style but very enjoyable with the smoked cheddar that I had to hand.

Screw cap which must be one of the early ones. Fruit driven, bright colour, drinking very well given the bottle notes. Much appreciated.........

Two years ago this 2004 was probably on it's peak. A very good wine then but now it was too late. Still drinkable though.
