You can sense some heat here, either from the vintage or storage but the least interesting bottle from the case, bovril and coffee are the main characteristics, there’s some decent colour at the core but brown is eating well into the wine. Heat on the finish

Yuk! One of the 6 was good but the rest showed varying degrees of oxidation, from tolerable but unpleasant to the revolting. Clearly some storage issues. Bought from auction...lesson learnt.

I got this directly from the importer and the bottle was in perfect shape with fill into the neck, but the wine was completely oxidized. It had an interesting nose of port and raisins, but the wine was brown. It was long gone. Drink up or pour out.

Past peak. Still somewhat enjoyable but even with decanting the alcohol is noticeable and the wine can’t shake an old raisiny feeling.

Imploring nose with strong tar, poppy seed, figs. Soft, quiet entrance. Fig paste, beach wood. Reminds me of early May rainstorms. Ready to drink.
