Last bottle - a bit sharp to begin with but after 30 minutes in the glass started opening up with earthy undertones mixed into a cherry fruit concoction that reminded me of an old Chianti rather than Burgundy. This has been a strange journey with this half case bought about 10 years ago.

For me this seems tired, although there was a hint of acidity to begin with and then after an hour in the glass, earthy undertones. If you seek fruit, look elsewhere

Ripe, round, pretty, red-fruited. The ripeness of the vintage shows, but it's quite restrained.

Sour cherry medium body - very drinkable but it did not blow me away. I don’t really see this as likely to improve.
