Sunday, October 4, 2020 - {screwcap, 14.5%} Hint of age around the otherwise deep ruby rim. Developing nose of vanilla, blueberries, with a rich malt chocolate. The palate is all soft smeary flavours, following the nose, with low/medium acidity, and fine dusty tannins, French oak now rather an American it seems. Medium weight, although pressed by alcoholic warmth - shame. The finish is a bit clipped then; lighter and savoury, the sweetness dissipates a bit. It’s a decent wine, but it’s not an eye-opener. Ready to drink, can be kept a few years easily enough, but unlikely to improve.
