  Served blind. Dark purple. Can't see the stem. The nose is a great smell. Barnyard. White pepper. Lack of full notes taken. Shared with S4 group.

  Middle depth brick red in colour with pronounced orange edge. Bouquet is quite alcoholic and mature with some volatile acidity. Palate is very fruity with vibrant acidity and lots of red fruit character. Full bodied and quite mature.

  Same problem that others noted. This bottle was all acid - perhaps a huge amount of VA.

  Shrill acidity, acetic, almost too much so to drink. Beautiful fruit underneath it all, but this is ruined.
