N66, decanted 15:45. Red-orange, 35% opaque. Nose not right: strangely vegetal. Derek said bacterial. Same vegetalness in the palate, behind which were orange and red fruit. But this bottle not right.

Bottled by Mayor Sworder. My notes have been lost so this is being written from memory the following day. I recall this wine was oxidised and tired, not to the point as to make it undrinkable but certainly not as nice as would be expected.
