D94: dark dark red, opacity not noted. Nose very strongly of lemon, so stringly that I checked neighbour’s glasses. Rich, great weight and texture, very lovely now, but the lemon was peculiar. I liked.

60% opaque, ruby + slight brown tinge to rim. Nose quite closed, maybe a meaty/savoury note. Some primary fruit on palate. OK+, 5/7, 0.5 points.
