Colour: medium(+) ruby Nose: medium(-) intensity, secondary, youthful. Cassis, bramble, blackberry leaf. Spirity: cedar, vanilla, nutmeg, alcohol. Palate: dry, medium(+) tannins, medium acidity, high alcohol (14,3%), full bodied. Medium intensity, medium length finish. Cassis, bramble, blackberry leaf. Spirity: cedar, vanilla, nutmeg, alcohol. Not as bad as I’d thought, but the whisky character is quite evident. Conclusions: acceptable. Drink now, not suitable for ageing. Seal screwcap

The sheer intensity of the alcohol fights with all of the positives. The smooth vanilla is fun and a little different, but still overshadowed. Keen to try the Shiraz.
