Deep plum, unfiltered. Universally bagged by those who partook as having a weird flavour profile with raisined and off-fruit flavours, disjointed, hot, bitter and aldehydic. Unrateable.

Pale ruby-violet , transparent, clear. Slightly subdued nose of dusty fennel seed, iodine. Bright acid, medium plus intensity of flavours with very sweet, almost liqueured purple fruit, mulberries, rosy-raspberry jam of Turkish Delight and dark chocolate finish. Fine sand-paper tannins, long finish, very well balanced. Delicious wine, easy to drink, with excellent structure - nothing is out off place. Very happy to have some more in the cellar.

On a rapid downhill slide. Deep straw with a golden-orange tinge, clear. Subdued nose of... actually, where is the nose? Razor-like acid spine with aldehydes, slight nuttiness and rancio characters with a hint of almond kernel bitterness at the finish. Almost fino sherry-like, but lacks intensity of flavour. Disappointing, this has aged well beyond its years. The rest might have to go to sauce.
