  Not much left here. It’s fine and has some nice bright qualities. Drink up.

  Rustic on the nose. Some dried red cherry, tobacco, dried earth and pencil shavings. On the palate it is quite nice, grippy, with moderate acidity. The fruit is holding on well and should hang around for another 5+ years. Better with 30 minute decant.

  Well-preserved. Cork in solid shape. Lighter bodied but some very nice old bdx vibes. Good stuff still.

  Dark red. Lovely aroma of blackcurrant, leather, tobacco, with a whiff of cedar. Crisp, elegant blackcurrant fruit flavour, with spices and a little mint. Decanted for two hours and still going strong after three. Delicious.
