[winesecretary]

Opened and double decanted 2050. Cork starting to disintegrate. Deep red. Lots of flat plates of sediment, but straightforward to decant.

QA of dregs - subdued nose. Palate suggests this is good rich pruney stuff though.

[flash_uk]

55% opacity, dull red. Jammy red fruit on the nose. Lively young fruit, raspberries & blackberries, good acidity. A little thin nonetheless.

[winesecretary]

Quite warm nose. Grapes and plums on palate. Perked up a bit since Q A sample in morning. Slightly imperfect.
