Nicolas Belfrage: I concur with my fellow tasters that this is not a happy wine; though it's not corked, just dull. 9

Stephen Brook: Deep red. Herbaceous nose, rather stewed with Plasticine aromas. Medium -bodied and rather lean. Sleek texture, but it sags in the middle then fades away to a rather dry finish. Medium length. 12

Alison Buchanan: Very deep, not opaque, black-shot ruby/garnet. A shocking nose - very, very volatile, with a non-vinous character and a weird shot of dried fruit. Actually rather an unpleasant decollage twixt dried-out primary fruit. Eek - I requested a retaste. Similar to before. 9
