Worryingly dark for it's age - a sort of burned brown. Cloudy too. Nose a little acetate like. It settled though to be a rather lovely wine. Some barley, orange and raisins came through on the palate. Long finish. Plenty of bite. Not very sweet in practice though the official RS levels are usual. I liked this though I do still wonder whether it was at it's best.

Very dark, no need to worry though, murky ( needs standing up before serving); raisins dominate; extremely sweet, enough acidity to prevent cloying;yet to fully knit -will it ever? One dimensional.
