Pogeba’d a '13 Mystery cuvée that just landed this morning.
I would say it’s not what I expected. Surprisingly lightweight for a Goodfellow bottle, nose is clipped, very little fruit with an unusual tannic bite on the finish. Maybe due to a bit of a stunted development in bottle, which I think Marcus mentioned was due to the DIAM 30. More air and it doesn’t get better. I started to wonder if it was flawed.
Popped a second one and this is completely different. Bright red fruit on the nose, not muted at all. Palate has the more expected weight and body from Goodfellow and the finish is a touch astringent, but balanced - maybe a touch green from the vintage?
Dare I say I found a corked bottle under DIAM 30?
