Nose is tangy berries, damp straw, blackcurrant pips, tannins, funk dusting. Taste comprises stale biscuit, berry yoghurt, soggy and stale Wheatabix, buttery tones. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close Hmmm ... looks and smells okay but the taste doesn't marry and takes this down a good few pegs ... shame!
