  Tissot Jura Tasting: Licorice, tar and some iodine on the nose. The palate is extremely short and thin. It has faded too much.

  High Shoulder. Cork came out in 3 pieces, despite careful use of the Ah-so. A reddish core, but significant brown/orange around the rim. The nose is leathery and a bit tarry, with some volatility. The palate is mirror smooth, with tannins completely resolved, and even the acidity is almost more present as a flavour rather than a texture. Hard to describe this, other than to say it’s very old wine. I wouldn't call it Bordeaux-like in any way – perhaps unsympathetic storage over 30-odd years has taken it’s toll on complexity. Still drinkable, and the bottle was emptied. Well stored bottles of this could be quite fun.

  Auswine Farewell Seamus Offline (Barmuda, Newtown): Still red, although presenting that very aged, tarry, faintly volatile nose, this wine is soft & gentle on the palate, with tannins faded away and acidity just starting to become prominent. Someone called it ‘seaweed’, a reflecting of the slightly rotting-vegetable quality that is apparent. This is certainly a wine on the downward slope, was not particularly popular at the table, and was probably destined for Sunday night’s casserole!
