La Manche Wine Circle - La Rive Droite (La Baleine, Gavray): Deep, clear red with tawny tints. Some solids in suspension but otherwise visually sound. Surprisingly fresh nose with apples on top of nice tertiary aromas of sandalwood and saddle-soap on leather. Prunes, apple and raisins on the palate. Highly enjoyable wine in its mid-forties and still going strong. Decanted 12 hours prior to tasting and not entered into the blind tasting. Ex-cellar G. Tovey - with thanks!

Difficult to evaluate what this might have once been. But without any noticeable flaw this was an empty wine.
