Jamie Goode | Evolved, earthy, and medicinal, with some drying tannins under the decayed, fading berry fruits. Sweet and baked. Has some harmony, but it’s very mature now and needs drinking up. | 85
Peter Richards | Dusty, slightly murky aromas. First bottle corked. Second bottle also has a slightly murky, feral character to add to the baked cream and dark fruit. Generous but hollow on the finish, a maximum-expression style from a warm vintage that’s showing its limitations in age. Chewy. | 88
David Williams | Second bottle; served a little warmer than the rest of the flight. Again, like its junior partner there’s mass here, beefy tannin and sweet pastille fruit, but joined by a little Rioja-esque savory leatheriness—it’s holding up pretty well, but is at the end of its drinking window. | 90
