Medium garnet. Quite broad paler rim showing quite some orange and tapering gracefully to clear at the very rim. Nose is ripe, round and autumnal - redolent of earth, truffle and leafmould - and with deep beetroot and strawberry aromas. No great class, but very lovely and very mature. Mouth entry is round and harmonious with nice red fruit and just a touch of acidity. Mid-palate shows real truffle character and some tannic firmness. Finishes quite short, robust and yet touched with sweetness. Lacks class but enjoyable. Bare **. **

Drinking really well at the moment. Still quite tannic, but the fruit is stili very persistant. Has quite a few years ahead of it/
