The colour is a fantastic deep brick lightening at the rim. Nose is a little alcoholic, coupled with cooking red fruits. The palate still has lingering tannins and (perhaps) slightly tart acidity, but the fruit is up to the job of competing. It seems some of the lowly appellations from ’96 are finally starting to become enjoyable – no rush though. I hope the last 3 or 4 are still on the merchants shelf, at €14 it’s a steal.
