  A palish, strawberry pink, almost verging on a rosé: attractive, if watery, to look at. A fair nose with some fruit: cherries and leather with a hint of Bostik; some tannin evident on the nose too. Long, thin legs. A light fruity attack that goes on to fill well in the mouth. There's some character in this. Quite tannic on the finish with a hint of bitter orange/burnt caramel. Light and easy, but lacks any real depth. A bit unbalanced towards the finish, when it loses the initial fruit and becomes more bitter. OK (just).
