Friday, January 6, 2017 - Deep ruby. Quite a floral lift to the densely blackcurranty nose. Quite smooth with good blackcurrant fruit and a slight creaminess on the attack. There's a persistent sense of dryness on the finish though — red meat combats this quite nicely though it would get a bit wearing on its own. A decent effort for 03, and only 12.5abv, but the tannins are a little grainy at the end. Lovely nose though. ***1/2
