Found in my cellar, origin unknown. Seems like several years on a gently downwards slope, fading strawberry and cherry fruit, bit stinky on the nose, still some tannin on the finish.

Light red, with some ageing but only just. The nose is lovely - decay - strawberries - manure -but maybe too much manure. The palate has a fizzy streak - bright and fruity and a bit too much acid. Next day this is fine - no fizz just mature creamy, fuity wine. So next time decant.

Light cherry red with no obvious ageing. The nose is obvious ageing. Full farmyard, smooth and creamy. The palate has some spritz to it but this does fade. There is some fruit but its cloaked with this heavy layer of farmyard and meaty decay. This needed to be opened for a while - hours - before it melded into a nice mature drink.
