Ian's bottle. Nose a bit dirty. Not right on the palate.

W60, light brick red colour, very pale, 20% opaque. A little bruised fruit on the nose. Sweet but with very little fruit initially on the palate. A little more fruit arrives on the mid-palate but the wine is very evolved. Nice aftertaste, gentle redcurrant jelly with a bit of aniseed. 89/100.
