Monday, February 22, 2016 - Screwcap. Dark red/black/fuchsia.
Initially closed. Meaty, leafy blackberry. Opens with air to show blackberry, pepper, boiled lollies, chocolate coated raisins. Prickly alcohol. Displays both over- and under- ripe elements.
Firm and acidic, quite dense and flavoursome. Fans across the palate but loses definition. Tannins seem green and stalk derived.
Opinion: Quaffing wine to throw at a BBQ party where a rich wine is required, and nobody is analysing too much. The wine is a contradiction. The over- and under- ripe elements become more pronounced with air.
