Croft 2004, bottled in halves in 2009.
Initially (at D+0) a little harsh and bitter. The flavours resolved themselves after 30 minutes in the glass to become sweet, red and black cherry with a touch of honey. Nicely structured with good acidity and tannins now fully integrated. Simple, straightforward and very pleasant. 88/100. Drunk 04-Jan-23.
