Fr70, notionally brought by DrDirk, but I suspect from WS1’s cellar. Glorious red, 50% opaque. Taste had heat, and strong aniseed. The fruit varied during the evening, sometimes feeling dried out, sometimes rich again. Aniseed showed consistently. Later I found mocha, causing me to guess GC70. Using the new scoring stars, given 3½/5.
