Nose

Light. Immature. Dried orange peel, dry oak, dry leaves. Flat champagne (green fruits) Strange. Distant. Lifeless.

Palate

Seems dilute. Splits on the palate with alcohol going one way, fruit going another and oak seeming old and grubby. Off-dry.

Finish

Occurs halfway up the palate. Peach stone bitterness. Abrasive. Very young.

Comment

As rough as an alcoholic one-eyed stevedore’s stubble after a weekend on the tiles.
