2012 Dalva
Purple and scarlet with a wide rim. Fragrant nose of fruit and flowers. Satin smooth but rather hollow entry and the first impression is of a rather unpleasant edge of bitterness on the palate. The tannins are modest but the acidity is cutting. Chewy rhubarb finish of impressive length. 89-91/100. Tasted 05-Mar-15.
