Berry's Own Selection (Smith Woodhouse).
60% opacity, dull dark red. Lovely young sweet fruit on the nose. Young fruit, some heat late on the palate. Finish a little sharp and bitter. Somehow lacking a bit of integration.

Shipped by Smith Woodhouse. Deep red colour, opaque with a medium rim. Great nose, full of fruit, fruit which is sweet juicy black cherry - a very fine nose. Neutral entry, surprisingly lacking the fruit promised by the nose. Closed on the mid-palate. Some fruit, which is black cherry, but oddly unbalanced. Soft and ripe tannins grip on the mid-palate but swamp the potential fruit. Very, very long finish with a touch of green. This is going to be a very fine wine but needs another 5-10 years to get back into balance. 90/100. Decanted 4½ hours.
