Cr94: dark dark red, 80% opaque. Lovely dark fruits, but slightly simple, and slightly hollow. As with many bottles this evening, could be drunk with pleasure, but not of the greats.

70% opaque, ruby but possibly starting to show some brown at the rim. Still some decent dark fruit on the nose. More primary fruit on palate. Very pleasant - 5/7.

Decanted at 18.30, returned to the bottle at 20.30 and vacu-vined. Allowed to stand in the glass for 30 minutes before tasting.

Slightly cloudy, dark red in colour with a black tone to red. Fresh bramble fruit on the nose. On the palate the fruit is sweet and a little jammy but the palate has good acidity and a gentle grip. Great persistence on the finish. The wine is attractive, youthful and full of vigour. 90/100.
