GC77 (‘JDAW}, though brought by RAYC). Very dark red, 90% opaque. Generally proclaimed to be corked. Consistent with the very fast fading of the dark fruits present early-palate.
Deep red in colour and opaque. Slightly corked on the nose. Some concentrated sweet fruit makes a brief appearance on the palate before the TCA dominates the mid and late palate. This still retains a deep and concentrated finish. Not rated. 6 hour decant.
