Decant: Pop 'n' pour - Glowing red colour, pale and transparent but clear and bright. Slightly mushroomy on the nose - a bit worrying, but after a few minutes this developed to be much more of a herbaceous note. Sweet initial impact, followed by dry tannins on the cheeks. Soft cherry juice fruit, although a little simple and straightforward. The aftertaste is sweet and fruity, with a soft and gentle and reasonable length. 88 points
