Zombie wines of North London (Terra Rossa): Well developed but still in its window, showing the quality of the vintage. High acidity, pungent, lots of juicy blueberry and dark jam - tasty stuff.

Zombie Wines at Terra Rossa (Terra Rossa, Islington): Quite a dark red. Lovely balance here, engaging sweetness and some firm acidity, with the fruit still there in the background. Blackberry and leather, these 1982s are remarkable. Very enjoyable even though it appeared quite late on.

Finally I tidy up a bottle that I told myself to tidy up fairly soon - only took 6 months - and this was far better than my initial taste. Popped and poured after about 40 minutes...directly upon opening it was sourly wet but, with that 40 minutes, it showed ripe, slightly baked fruits; plums, blackberry, leather, earth, plenty of sweet spice and, despite a proclamation of 12.5% alcohol, a little ethanol warmth on the nose. Medium plus intensity acidity in the mouth, biscuit joins the more stewed fruit, still has plenty of tannic grip, travels long, and finishes, savourym, leathery, slight warm. very pleasant with a rather gamey rack of lamb and asparagus...

From Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas of biscuit, red berries, slight sweet spice, a little red plum, leather, earth, cellar stink. In the mouth it's juicy with a little cellar stink, still has tannic presence that dries the mid palate, the red fruit present here as well. Probably need to tidy this up fairly soon.
