GC91. Dark red, 60% opaque. Nose dirty, bacterial. CSD, sitting to my right, said the nose was was “interesting but not flawed, very weak”. Palate thin and dry. Not right.

[winesecretary]

Nice and dark, 70% opaque. Not a great showing. A bit short on the finish.

Still quite deep colour. Something not right on the nose so came back an hour later - better, but very closed.
More development on the palate but alcohol out of balance.
