A very even colour in the glass: an attractive berry red. Initially there's a blast of fruit on the nose, but then the nose becomes rather indistinct and rather musty. Thin, watery and sour. Quite definitely off, seemingly with a combination of bacterial infection and a touch of TCA.

12% A young, vibrant colour. Very full nose with lots of complex fruit, including some cherries. Very clean attack. Then it's quite spicy, and fills out well in the mouth. Smooth finish with good length. Distinctly lacking in tannic structure. Very Good.
