Medium ruby, decent depth of colour to the rim, which is just showing slight signs of bricking. Nose is quite tight with rich cherry fruit and a touch of earthiness. Not as rustic as you might expect. Mouth entry is quite flat - even dull - but fullish. Nice deep weighty, earthy red fruits on the mid-palate and a nicely "delicately rustic" fading away at the end. Not big but very well balanced - except for a touch of grippy tannin on the finish. I don't think this one has anywhere to go. bare **
