Replacement bottle. Pop and poured. At B&B PP. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, garnet colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of floral rosewater, powdery earth, cloves, sour red cherries. Developed. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%), chewy medium+ tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sour red cherries, sweet red cherries, powdery bitter earth, sweet spices. Medium- finish. Good quality. Simple easy drinking. Pleasurable. Time to drink up over the next 1-2 years. Don't think this will improve with further ageing.

Oxidised nose. :-( Bringing back to retailer hoping to exchange for another bottle tomorrow.
