The diam was half soaked through, and was quite loose in the neck of the bottle. Quite a pleasant nose on the wine, starting with rhubarb, beetroot, earth and bark, and then developing some cherry fruits and perfume, with cream and nuts. Quite nice; the palate however was very disappointing: very dry, with hints of red fruits and spice, but the length was short and the finish bitter. Bleech. 78 points. 13.0% abv. Sealed under Diam. Drink only if you have to.
So you’d put this down to a closure failure? At 7 years it’s worrying. Cellared by you?

Only if you have to? Or if you have two?
Neville: fixed – thanks Mr Editor
GW: yeah, I reckon the Diam failed. Cellared by me since release
