Purchased from Tesco recently because I wanted the nice presentation box to use for a gift with a different bottle in it.
Emergency decant procedure used due to complete lack of will power.
Decanted 5 seconds
Decanted cleanly of very little crust. What there was was of the fine dust variety. A very young fruit bomb smell. dark and completely opaque. Nice weight and surprisingly approachable at this young age. Lots of tannin kicking in quickly to evidence that I have commited infanticide
I think AHB would like this.
Might offer a score once it has had time to breathe.
