NV Wine Society Crusted 2013

Post by winesecretary »

80% opaque red juice.

Red fruit nose- smells like a defrosted bag of frozen summer fruits.

A bit of blueberry before the distinct red dessert apple and poached blackberry notes appear.

The tannins are softening nicely but add a pleasingly tart edge to the finish.

I think this has moved on a bit since the last time I have a bottle and is now fully ready. I have quite a lot so I think I might be moving into ‘drink one a year for the next decade or so’ territory, having hitherto been on biennial schedule.
