Caroline's bash (Windsor): Mid ruby, mulberry, blueberry and damson nose. Some iron and spice. Lovely attack, far lighter and more elegant than expected. Fresh, well defined fruit accompanied by iron and mineral and a refreshing finish. Best showing of this yet. ***1/2

Full ruby colour. Quite a meaty, mulberry and blueberry nose, more restrained and elegant on the palate though. Positive entry, very smooth, quite elegant, velvety mouthfeel, fresh acidity on a moderate finish. A savoury quality to the finish with touches of iron. Very decent, drinking nicely now but absolutely no hurry. ***

Good colour; quite a richly fruity nose; lovely fresh fruit on the entry, soft velvety texture, reasonable length and nice acidity. No sign of the 14%alc, very smooth and balanced. A lovely suprise as I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Pleased to have a few more of these.
