Not sure if this was an off bottle, but the cork was tight and clean. Last bottle was about 2 years ago and much better. The fruit has gone from this and there is little structure remaining, quite acidic and a little bitter on the finish. Will keep half a bottle to see how it goes.
Couple of days later and the acidity is less pronounced but is still has a bitter finish.

Ruby colour. Really interesting on the nose - refreshing red fruits and a bit of cake or sherbert. Full of redcurrant on the palate flowing into well polished tannins that are nicely integrated. I can see this improving for a while yet.

Fabulous gear. Great fruit, spice and a finish to match. What a bargain!

Ruby. Fresh red berries on the nose and a little graphite. Medium bodied, sour cherries, dark, quite simple and a little short. Very refreshing wine.

Similar to previous note - this is a really refreshing wine, nice acidity and long finish.
