2008 Duorum

Post by DRT »

Cask sample tasted blind in June 2010 as part of this review

Good depth of colour with violets and molases on the nose. Medium weight with lots of acidity and tannins that are quite raw and seem to overpower the red fruits. Some bitterness in the finish, which is long and dry. 87 points.
