Good(ish) cork - about 30% soaked. Pale/medium garnet core, pale garnet rim. Nose shows dark berry fruit, vanilla, not overly aromatic, pure or precise - slightly lactic in fact. Medium/full bodied on the palate, black and red berries, with a slightly stewed quality, a touch of earth and coffee, soft tannins good length harmonious finish. Perhaps not the best bottle of this.

Cork fully soaked one one side. Medium garnet core, touch of ruby, pale garnet rim. Nose shows strawberry, spice, touch of vanilla - perfumed, later showing some earth and game. Medium bodied, red fruit, game, nice purity, quite light and airy, touch of fine tannin, flash of darker fruit, fresh acidity then game and smoke on lingering finish. Excellent, drinking well.

Delicious. Fruit took a while to show itself. Classic nose.
