Unsuccessfully pulled the cork, it came out in bits!
Pungent leathery nose, plums, prunes and a little rubber, sweaty. Tasting, the fruit is light, the acidity and sweetness more prominent, with the sweetness a little clingy on the finish. Hot. Tannins smooth and most noticable at the finish. Acidity lasts, and makes it rather moreish, if a little overpowering!
The other half of the bottle to be reported tomorrow.
Decanted, some heavy sediment towards the end.
