80% opaque. Paling rim. Possibly slightly funky on the nose. A bit bitter in the mouth. Difficult to enjoy, I doubt this was wholly representative.

Good deep colour. A solid, primarily fruity nose with the same fruit driven palate. Mid weight only, and palate grips a bit sharply shortening the finish. Seemingly undeveloped but question for me would be how it moves on from here.

Sk94, decanted 22:00 yesterday. Dark red with pink edge. Cloying bitterness; long; very dry.
