Much better than I remember it. I’ve had this bottle in the cellar for over 10 years and it showed a nice mix of nuttiness and red fruit. Deep and complex with quite a bit of intensity. Excellent.

Was saving this last bottle to drink with my father, who was born in 1928. But for the last few years he hadn't been drinking wine or alcohol of any sort any more so we never found the occasion to drink it. He died today, just a few days before his 94th birthday, so I decided to open this bottle and drink it with some friends. Call it the mood or whatever, but I found this wine to be terrific. Full of life and interest, plenty of biting acidity and a good dose of residual sugar. Yeah, maybe not the most profound wine in the world, but today it was 100 points. Here's to you, pops.

By the glass. Caramelised and lactic almonds and peanuts.Unlimited complexity. Juicy and a creamy texture on the palate.Lacking in acidity but deeply delicious.
Por copas. Almendras y cacahuetes garrapiñados y lácticos. Complejidad sin límite. Jugoso y una textura cremosa al paladar. Falto de acidez pero profundamente delicioso.

Cask 873. Cherry jam, raspberry, dried currants, allspice, prune and toffee. It is really quite fun, if a little cherry dominant. Falls away a little on the finish. But fabulous value!

Cask 931. Rich treacle and dates, some acidity to balance and just a hint of oxidation/madeira. A nice package.
