Decant: 24 hours - Pale, light and clear. Not much colour and what there is, is the colour of burnt sugar. Lovely orange and floral notes on the nose. Quite a dense texture, with lots of the floral flavours promised by the nose and a lovely bite of cranberries in the mid-palate. A very acidic structure with the tannins only just still peeping through. Elegant but a little simple in the middle. A very pleasant aftertaste that lasts of reasonable length. Out of the four remaining wines, I guessed that this was the Warre. 89 points
