Didn't love it, dark berry fruits, belies its 16 label with some colour age. Once the sulphur blew off it opened up a little more.

Pale ruby, with garnet at the rim. Legs.

Clean, with medium intensity, and developed aromas of farmyard, tobacco, earth, forest floor. Red fruit (red plum, red currant, red cherry), black fruit (black cherry, black plum), white pepper, vague hint of sweet spice (nutmeg).

Dry, with medium(+) acidity, light tannin (fine-grained/velvet), medium alcohol, medium flavour intensity, medium body. Medium(+) finish.

Very good quality.

Drink now, not intended for further ageing.

Beautiful pale red robe. Light nose of grapes and sweet fruits. Taste of plumbs, mulberries and sweet dark fruit, well balanced with a mild spiciness. Medium finish. Lovely wine!
