I’m amazed how quickly this wine has rolled over since my last tasting. It is now quite round with nine secondary nuances, but no tannic backbone at all. Drink up.

Drinking really great with airtime. Loads of cheer and fruit with a nice garrique and spice secondary nuance that I believe is showing more at eight years than it did at five.

Better than last time! Quite good with a good nose and a quite extended length. Impressive cherry and cola (RRV) notes which make this slightly eccentric but pleasingly memorable.
I think worth it to save the last two bottles until 2024 and later. Let’s see where it goes!

Ditto. Ready to drink. Caveat: Kevin thought that it was a bit tannic.
