Medium to light red colour, with a slight purple tinge. Brushed potato-like, earthy, vegetable aromas, apparently largely stalk-derived. Just medium-bodied, lean and rather stalky tasting, with light but pointed tannins and a certain sinewy-ness. This is a little too whole-bunch ferment stemmy for me at this time. Not much charm or pinosity, on the day, but I suspect another year or two in bottle will give rich rewards. It needs age before a more accurate assessment can be made. (footnote: I like the Farrside more today. It is more approachable in youth.)
