Bottle 2 of the dozen and this one is quite drinkable. Had a glass last night and left the rest til tonight. The difference a night makes...
A very raspberry nose, quite distinct, almost like smelling the raspberry lollies with a little wood in there. On the palate it's all fruit and it's very nicely balanced with a hint of oak. Possibly plum too. Actually, it is a lot like drinking alcoholic Ribena. Very much apple and black current.
I read the notes and it says Christmas cake... they are right, but I think that may be the power of suggestion. Still, it is possible.
On the whole, this is really good and next time I will know to let it breathe a loooong time.
ps. after two days this wine still tasted good.
