[Alex Bridgeman]

Pale rose red; 30% opaque. Nothing on the nose. Light entry bringing very faint TCA on the palate that flattens the fruit flavours struggling to come through. Not Rated. 19-Dec-17. Decanted 6½ hours.

30% opacity, warm red, very sloightly cloudy. Dusty nose, very mild TCA. Smooth entry, very muted red fruits. TCA, but still drinkable for me.
