Bricking throughout – and lightweight colour. Spicy cherry and light plum fruit – some spirit poking through. Alcoholic impact on palate – not just heat but a thin boned wine with little flesh hanging off it. Smokey/burnt finish lingers, but not in an entirely pleasant way. Very sherry like on back tasting. In decline. 78-
