Decant: 10 hours - Purchased from Tesco in March 2008, post Christmas discount. Decanted off some very heavily set and almost limescale-like deposits that were well encrusted on the inside of the bottle. The cork was rock solid in the neck of the bottle. Appeared quite pale when decanted.
Deep red and opaque when drunk 10 hours after decanting. Closed on the nose, but with a sweet figginess coming from the glass. Full fo fruit and promise when sipped, filling the mouth with ripe and luscious blackberries. Still amazingly tannic. Aftertaste a little short. Overall, this is an enjoyable wine that probably still has a little more to show but will never be a blockbuster. 4/5. 88 points
