Should have drank this 3yrs ago, due to this it was lacking a bit of fruit. It had a deep purple colour. An initial taste of old sour cherries, with no tanins, quickly fading to a light raspberry finish of 10/15 secs. Would have been a belter a few years ao The legs are slow. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like forest floor and bark. The body is full. The wine has silky texture. The wine has low acidity.

Brick without any hint of brown tinge
Spicy sweet aromatics
Tannins soft and fully integrated Bruised red berries, spice and hints of pepper Still significant acidity holding it together
10 years under screwcap...hmmmm

Fading colour; savoury nose, cloves, mulled fruit; tastey, spicy; finishes in positive, gutsy fashion. Good for a couple+ years.
