Nice pink colour but not much else going on. It is dry on the palate with a fairly bitter taste - the fruit struggling to impose itself. This just needs drunk up - bbq fodder when people are eating robust food and not concentrating on the wine. I still have 4 bottles - time for a bbq.

Swing and a miss. It looks so pretty in the bottle and glass; medium pink/rose with a bit of orange. Smells dry and with swirling and imagination a hint of strawberry can be discerned. But immediately upon hitting the palate, it's clear this is much too bitter and whatever fruit there is remains buried. Possibly an off bottle, but based on the notes here from the 2005 vintage I am not inclined to purchase another one despite te modest price.
