Preview is terrible for estate (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foretaste

'preview' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'terrible for estate' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates an anagram.
'for'+'estate'='forestate'
'forestate' anagrammed gives 'FORETASTE'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for foretaste that I've seen before include "Advance sample" , "a sample of goodies to come?" , "Anticipatory experience" , "Sampler" , "A sample of what could be" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
