SF | Hint of russet on the rim, the nose slightly subdued; raspberry compote and a hint of briary; palate a little stewed, modest of temperament, somewhat negative of disposition. 87
AJ | Dark black red. Fresh, even a little leafy; savoury too. Flirting with herbaceousness, and not a ringing aromatic success. Concentrated and 'classical' in the mouth, but not very giving or seductive and I would drink this sooner rather than later. The bone structure very much to the fore here, and those grassy notes are apparent on the palate, too.Drink Dates: 2025 - 2029.
