Tasting notes
Quite pale with lots of evolution. Light nose. Quite high acid. Tastes as though the yield is quite high. (JR)

This is a pinched, superficial style of claret with notes of plums and sweet and sour cherries in a medium-bodied, rather dry, angular style. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
Mid, quite evolved, crimson. Ripe and round, but slightly vapid. No great impact or concentration on the palate. A bit dilute. A bit slack. (JR)
Rather diffuse crimson. Some greenness on the nose. Very full and flattering but it lacks the acidity to give it real life and appeal. Shame because other aspects are rather admirable – though it seems to have been slightly overoaked. Dry. A bit hollow. Dead on the finish. (JR)
