8 August 2011: We felt that we ought to open a half bottle of this wine to see how it should taste, given the corked bottle the previous Friday. Gladis, in case you're reading this.....this is what it would have tasted like!
Deep ruby. Bramble, wild berries, plums, violet, smokey, truffle, undergrowth with a hint of sage. Grippy tannin, vibrant acidity, chewy but velvety texture. Robust, masculine, vigorous and youthful. A very good effort indeed. This wine would benefit from 2 - 3+ years of cellaring. 17.5/20
