Cork dry and crumbled. Lots of sediment. Decanted 3 hrs. Agree with previous comment that nose was the star. Still some red fruit on the nose. Taste did not match. No significant fruit, and tertiary flavours fading. Either a flawed bottle (cork May be a clue) or this was past its prime. Didn’t finish it, which is a testament to how not great it was.

Lovely orange/ red colour. Beautiful mousse. Was steely dry. Fruit was cherry, orange zest, but disconnect between what I was expecting from colour and amount of fruit it gave on the palate. Not a long finish.
