Bottle split at Leighton's 20K, big thanks to the man of the moment, 01/03/17. Cherry red leaning towards amber with little in the way of a head. Nose is cherry skins, musty tones, damp wood, cherry stones, spice, funk. Taste comprises cherry drops, light oxidised streak, herbal, wood must, stale Bakewell tart, funk, dry rot. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a light puckering ripple. Ok stuff.

1980s bottle thanks to Bobby. Awesome! Pours a nice clear reddish color, some carb. A big fruity nose, oxidation. Sweet cherries, a bit of darker syrupy elements, of course big oxidation. This has really held up well. Quite nice. I could drink a large sample no problem.
