  Deeply flawed wine. Green. Tastes like red grapes got some rot and the wine was not properly sorted. Foul.

  From a magnum.
  Deep dark colour, some signs of age.
  Dense nose with funky merlot and cassis.
  Fairly smooth in the mouth, but has some sharp edges.
  Drinking well from a magnum. Drink now.

  Going downhill with nose of mushroom and chocolate primarily and not much fruit left. The palate is medium bodied and still drinkable but clearly the tannins and acidity have outlasted the fruit.

  Clear, Deep ruby, thick leg
  Nose: Clean, oak, vanilla, meatiness, black and red fruit, strawberry, black berry, black currant, mint, leather, liquorice
  Palate: Dry, Medium plus acidity, Medium tannin, Medium alcohol, medium plus body. Tannin is quite smooth
  Strawberry, mint, black currant, mink, leather, earthy, meatiness, smoky...
  A good medium plus finish with some black currant finish
  overall is a good quality wine, drink now but I don't think it has potential for further ageing.

  10 years on & still a relatively youthful appearance ~ On the nose there's coconut, vanilla, gamey meatiness, tar, strawberry, black cherry & licorice ~ On the palate there's still a nice tannic grip that persists through the finish, which is quite long. Flavors of smoke, cola, kirsch, milk chocolate & dill ~ An interesting & complex nose that lures you in but then a bit clumsy & disjointed on the palate but still enjoyable
