Bottle, gifted to me by my mate Dan. Unreal condition tbh. I had to wrangle the cork out. Perhaps that’s why it’s in such good nick. Deep purple. Well lasting dirty dark pink foam. White wine and bourbon barrels up front. Sweet cherry. Hint of oxidation. Vanilla. Bittersweet and super easy drinking. Loads of condition. Juicy fruit to finish. Wow. Wasn’t expecting that.
