Bordeaux Marts 2020 Cork not in best condition, and did not smell very well, but the wine was 100% - good grip, leather, smoked tobaco, good, firm but of course mature tanin, very pleasant and well made, drinks younger than 33 years, and in a perfect spot now ! Drink 2020-2027

Double decanted and taken out for paella on valentine's day. Aroma of dried fruits, old baseball mitt, damp tobacco, rusted metal. Actually improves over the course of 3 hours, getting satiny and very broad in the mouth, with a effortless sense of power and lightness. Seems initially like the delicate kind of old wine that floats rather than saturates, but with air it's got a tangerine sweetness and meaty depth, just fabulous.

Will T’s (30th) 87s (Noizé, London): Gorgeous when opened 4hrs ahead of drinking. Just loses a touch of richness in the interim. Some plushness but very much silk rather than velvet. Classic Vr in a slightly adolescent stage. Not yet the orange peel complexity but plenty of interest. Not giving itself away easily but plenty to tempt one to persevere. Quite vibrant still. Just about ****1/2

This had developed a slow seep so I decided to have look at it. Sweet and tangy in a preserved fruit sort of way. Pleasant nose with a patina of oxidation, no tannin, but supple juicy acid. Enjoyable but I hope proper bottles show fresher.
