- Garnet color with fast forming legs and aromas of tobacco, strawberry and prune. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of tobacco, black currant and strawberry jam with a full body. Juicy texture with a long finish - While this bottle borders on jammy, it also exhibits qualities of a well aged wine, but at only five years. It is good, but too much can be too much. It would work great in a coursed dinner with friends.
Possibly a sign of how my palate has developed. Not too long this basic bramble bomber would have been tolerable fare. Now two large glasses and the rest down the sink.
Or this was just an inferior bottle to last October's? No consistency this time, whispers of fruit giving way within seconds to leaded four star, blackberry on the tongue then sudden stewiness ending in dryness. Just all over the place and not worth bothering with me again.

Very nice. Slurped with a pizza.

Earthy, almost rocky nose. Alcohol up front before some balanced fruit. Not awful, pretty middle-of-the-road table wine.

Jammy, poor structure, short finish.
A second tasting the following day was no better.
