Good lord this is delicious. If someone fused a refined Bordeaux with a cadburys fruit and nut bar, they’d probably end up with this. Has aged wonderfully

Delicious 15 yr old Bordeaux, consumed over 2 nights with an earthy lentil soup one night, and a beef stew the other. Gorgeous and complex black fruit notes, with coffee grounds, mocha, and cassis flavors. Beautiful tannic structure, alongside moderate acidity and a medium length, slightly clipped finish...which is the only drawback. Delicious, drink now through 2022 or so.

Gang of 4 in Covid19 times; Some random wines. (@ RW): Beautiful bouquet with vanilla and licorice. On the palate firm acidity, caramel, coffee and mocha. A firm dose of oak which is not too overwhelming. Beautiful wine which is ready now, but can easily last a few more years as well.

C: Dark deep garnet fully mature. N: Still positive and initially fresh with some plum and black cherry. T: Initially vibrant with flavours of plum and black cherry with leathery notes. Quite earthy developing sweetish raisined fruit and glycerol on the mouthfeel, but then it falls apart with a nasty bitter and astringent finish. I: I started out loving this wine believing it to be well balanced and drinking very well, but dear oh dear, that bitterness and astringency on finish lets it down badly. My advice is to drink up. It's still an above wine though.
