Bottle off the wine list over dinner at El Cerdo. Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs. Nose is clean, low intensity, with aromas of dark red cherry, red plum, hint of floral spice. Developed. On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), soft medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of dark red cherry, black cherry, red plum, slight spice and chocolate bits. Medium- finish. Acceptable quality. Nothing offensive but really muddled and indistinct. Given a few hours of air in bottle but still going nowhere. Lacking nose, and not enough intensity on the palate also. Could this be a flawed bottle?

Nose: Medium + intensity. Deep, ripe red fruit. Well-integrated oak notes. Slight hints of tertiary, dried fruits. Palate: Med + alcohol, medium acidity, medium + tannin, med + body. Ripe red fruit carries over, then hints of coconut come through but never dominate. Warming alcohol but in balance. Medium + finish. Perhaps a tad drying and leaves you wanting more fruit.
Very good, balanced wine that is full but not brash. Drink now but can age.
