A nice mature colour, with a good depth of colour in the glass. Rather astringent, slightly spicy nose. Fresh and fruity on the attack. Fills out enormously, though this doesn't really feel full-bodied, just self important. The astringency continues throughout and into the considerable length. Good+.

An attractive, even colour that's not too young. Good nose - not too heavy, with decent fruit. Good attack; quite fresh really and with nice fruit. Develops a bit of a hard feel if left in the mouth for more than a moment and is a bit odd after. While having a relatively full flavour, it's has an overall feeling of lightness, even of being a bit thin. Goodish length though. Good/Very Good.

The Oddbins Old World Wine Fair; 5/16/1992-5/17/1992 (London): Very fresh, and a clear winner at the price (£2.99).
