Red Brown in colour, slightly murky with super fine sediment. Leather and straw on the nose, no funk on opening. Still retaining fruit - smoothed tannin - long and pleasant sharp fruit acidity ending vanilla. Definitely on its last legs but enjoyable all the same.

a fantastic wine, very enjoyable. Loads going on, complex nose - dried fruits, apricots, marmalade. Amazing mouth feel - smooth, with sweet and acidic flavors throughout a very long taste - it goes on for ages.
