1999 Sainsbury TTD
Some bricking. Light nose. Plums, alcohol and cough sweets. Enough tanins and acidity to balence sweetness but light on fruit. Cherry cough medicine. Finishes a bit light, though decent length, plums and cherries with green and woody notes, more cough medicine and slightly bitter aftertaste. Interesting enough as a cellar defender (it wasn't expensive) and much better than a year ago when it was somewhat disjointed. Selo broken underneath capsule, so assume was recorked?
