Slow-O 30 minutes, served non-blind. Vastly different than prior bottles, this was thin, slighly muted and the acids dominated the fruit. Nothing elegant (or tasty for that matter) with tonight's performance. 2/3 of the bottle went into the fridge tonight, will check on it tomorrow. 14,0% abv

light, brick colour - very opaque - just not good. nose: full, sweet, comopte like - really boiled. taste: nice, quite high acidity - which we always welcome, tannins rather balanced; plums and blackberries. Finish short and very hot. Very modern RdM, with no finesse and elegancy. It could be anything but happened to be RdM unfortunetly. 85+

Black Cherry with heavy iron underpinnings. Light to mid weight. Brickish color. Bright acids still, slightly sharp on the finish.

Is it wrong to score a wine that you drank while covered hands to feet with bug spray?
OK, never mind...
