Bright red fruit (cherry), nice acidity, crunchy fruit. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable. Off smell at first that dissipated with a half hour of air. Popped & poured. Great fill level - cork in good shape.

Good, but reserved nose with adequate fruit and age showing. The game and hedge fruit is short in the mouth, with tannins which are fine, but not broad.

Nice clear medium ruby - just a touch of tawniness - with a wide paler rim. Nose is very broad and quite rustic - solid black fruits and sousbois. Delightful but not really fine. Mouth entry is quite fresh, medium weight with red/black fruits and good acidity. A touch of earthiness as the fruit fills to the midpalate then tapers away to a nice but simple finish with a touch of drying tannin. **

Probably the best of the bunch so far. Very fruity nose that quickly gave way to a more farmyard mix. The palate was good with acidity balanced by a smooth lean fruit. Went well with the food - really enjovable and drinking just right now.

Mid-red and strawberry with no real strong ageing signs. Ah, corked!
