Tasting notes

This is perhaps the worst Gruaud I have tasted. When tasting this I kept wondering if this ever did give any pleasure. There was signs of substansial rot. Deep brown-red colour. Surprisingly deep. The nose shows rot, oxydation, earth. Some red berries. Light and earthy Gruaud in the mouth with noticable off-aromas of rot and oxydation. Some floral notes also. Quite thinning. Little fruit. The acidity shows. Little tannins in the back. Not good.
