Tawny brown in appearance this was way beyond past it. Initially coffee grounds and cigarbox notes gave way to toffee and caramel before taking on oxidised sherry characters. Should have been drunk up about 15 years ago!

Color: Deep purple black but with slight orange tint in the rim showing age. Nose: Blackcurrant, wlanut, roast Palate: Character of a fruity, fresh wine. Ample fruits but from middle onwards, feels hollow and no lingering. There is a peculiar after-taste that I cannot pick on but leaves a not-so-plesant feeling.

This ruby colored wine was just not to my taste at all. It was unbalanced and disjointed showing heavy oak and black pepper and little else. It seemed to have sharp acidity and a hot finish. Mostly down the drain. 50+7+6+4+4 = 71
