Lovely deep, even, crimson. Classic claret nose of pencil-shavings, cassis, cream and red berries. Sweet vanillin oak too. Pure fruit on the palate though swamped by lemony acidity and firm, lean tannins. The fruit is pure though, a touch leafy, but fine, light raspberry and blackcurrant flavours. Decent length. The acidity is rather high but the fruit quality is good in a lighter, pure and clean style.
