  4/4/2024 - Duncan wrote: flawed

  Attractive deep purple colour. Not much nose, but an immediate fizz was audible as I leant towards the glass. This disappeared after a minute or less, but whatever was causing it has also caused the wine to be distinctly acidic. There is ripe fruit there, but its way in the background behind tongue-tingling acidity. Freshness is great, but this doesn't feel right to me - it's way out of balance. And is there a slightly unpleasant aroma creeping out after a few minutes in the glass? Something farmyardy... I can't believe they wanted their wine to make this impression. With that in mind, I'm marking it as flawed, otherwise it would get a very low score - much lower than others have awarded it in other vintages. Screwcap, 14%.
