Aug 18th, 2014Medium garnet core with quite wide terracotta rim . Quite sweet , slightly dried fruit nose , plum , dark cherry and some spice hints, a touch oxidative also , this has a lot of age to it . On the palate dried plum, cherry , sous bois , hint of menthol and dried spices . Balanced acidity but slightly angular tannins . Ok medium length. A curiosity , but still drinkable . Clinging on to life but it’s best years were probably over a decade ago
