Community Tasting Note

  • SimonG wrote: flawed

    April 18, 2016 - Beautiful clear ruby in the bottle, but it didn't survive the journey and subsequent decant — very finely muddy and almost completely opaque. Nose is a bit muddy and diffuse but still gives a good account of what it should have been. The palate however, is a muddy mess. Such a shame as there's clearly a lovely wine underneath the sludge.
