Jamie Goode | Evolved, slightly baked, earthy nose, with sweet fruit and some spiciness. Very developed on the palate, with mint, earth, iodine, and some medicinal notes. Savory and developed, this is a bit past its best. | 86

Peter Richards | Very marked aromatic evolution. Papyrus or old vellum—like opening an ancient book. Very dried fruit. The palate still retains some underlying acidity and fine insistent tannin but the fruit has all fallen away. Shame! Some fresher fruit to start with may have helped here. Past its sell-by date. | 86

David Williams | Deliciously pure dark raspberry and cherry fruit, with a pleasing snap of tartness, even crunchiness; there’s good length here and cherry Bakewell flavors, even if it’s clearly a little past its best now. | 89
