Boxing Day 2020 (My place, Kent Street): Went to Coravin a cheeky glass of this and, booo, the cork slipped into the bottle so had to decant it and tuck in...very black tea and red currant, plenty of earthy, gamey notes as well, tired but pleasant none the less - the tannins were less obtrusive than last tasting but it could have been the company of the 75 Malartic Lagraviere...

Coravin fun - Bordeaux (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas of black tea, red currant and raisins, dusty Asian spices, touch of biscuit, a touch of leather armchair, Autumn leaves. Smells 'filigree' if you can imagine such a thing. In the mouth it's juicy, warm, savoury, spiced, muted red fruits, plenty of talc textured tannins close down the palate and it finishes, oddly, rather creamy and rich. out of whack but not out of condition per se.
