Licorice, ash, slate and light herb with blackberry as well. Good grip and fruit intensity - very nice depth and length. Showing good progress, with plenty of time to go.

Cherry, licorice, redcurrant and a touch of earth. Lifted acid here, the red fruit is nicely pure. Moderate depth and length.

Redcurrant, blackberry and ash.Sweet fruited palate, with good richness and some savoury undertones that give it a bit of extra interest. Good length and well balanced youthful drive.

Chocolate, cherry, plum, raspberry and some savoury earthy notes. Plenty of tannin here to go along with the rich fruit profile. Good acidity and flow here. Moderate depth now, but should develop decently over the medium term.

Ash, cherry, jubey fruit. Medium bodied palate, red fruit with good brightness. Decent length, but probably lacking a touch of depth.

Floral, earth, licorice and cherry. Intense fruit on the palate, but it is controlled deftly by the oak and acidity. Fine tannins assist ably.

Floral, red berries, red cherry and raspberry aromas. Excellent lift and definition to the fruit - its red fruit and savoury notes mingling well. Excellent balance and controlled drive. Super stuff.

Darker fruit profile with violets, roses and blackberries. Lovely fruit profile on the palate, this has deep flavour and excellent length. Feels like it has power and precision.

Licorice, cherry, blackberry and earthy notes. Full flavoured, this has an excellent shape to the fruit and acidity that drives the wine into an excellent finish. Fantastic quality.

Floral and raspberry notes on the nose. Has good verve and lifted fruit character. Fine balance and good length. Stands up well with some of the much more expensive wines at the tasting.

Licorice, raspberry, cherry, redcurrant and spice driven nose. Superb depth and detail on the palate - this is structured with an exceptionally fine acid line and brilliant length. Drives across the palate with great purpose and style - give it time and be rewarded.
