Dry tannin, tough, quite austere fruit. Unbalanced oak.

Very good, oak well handled. Tropical fruit with nutty complexity and fine acidity. Long future.

Delicious nose, mint, spice, ripe fruit. A touch green on the palate with spice, toast and dark fruit. Very interesting. Firm structure. Fresh, needs time.

Cherry, plum and a touch leafy. Austere and needs time.

Complex flavour enhanced with deft oak. Tropical fruit, sherbert zing. Fresh and enjoyable.

Ripe fruit with lovely leafy Cab Franc. Approachable tannin, nicely integrated with full mouthfeel. Dark fruit and long finish.

Ripe grenache but still very tannic. Good fruit depth with spicy complexity. Coffee, mocha finish with a touch of liquorice.

Straughtforward easy drinking style with fresh acidity.

Firm structure with ripe fruit and spice. A touch of leaf and mint. Still needs plenty of time.

Typical Chilean SB. Pungent, nettles.

Chile on the nose with typical Carmenere style. Tannic and lacks complexity.

Mineral style with very lean fruit. Sharp acidity and hot finish.

Rolland signature in evidence. Ripe, rich and extracted.

Powerful nose let down by the palate which lacks concentration or complexity. Some stony minerality but finishes very short.

Young. Ripe fruit and reasonably supple tannin. Blackcurrant, cherry and sympathetic oak. Enjoyable and will be ready in 3-5 years.

Good, ripe, classic Claret fruit with enough leafy Cabernet. Balanced tannic grip with fair acidity. Approachable.

Rich, ripe, coffee and blackcurrant nose. Powerful. Grippy but smooth tannin. Dark fruit with plenty of spice and oak. Shows potential.

Crisp fruit. Safe winemaking.

Light nose, clean red fruit and oak. Light, integrated tannin. Ho hum.

Simple, lacks fruit complexity. Tannins well handled and has a crisp finish but ultimately lacks any interest.

Very good, classic Claret. Rich and ripe but with enough leafy character to keep the wine fresh. Tannins are still grippy but are well integrated and the fruit folds around them. Very enjoyable and approachable but nowhere near its peak.

Simple, clean, easy. No complexity, no character.

Dense fruit with spice and pepper. Powerful but ripe tannins with cherry and complex oak on the finish. Polished.

Very good wine. Powerful nose and palate. Fruit, mineral and gentle oak. Medium bodied with excellent structure and this has the capacity to age further. Fresh finish with gentle toast.

Good, ripe claret. Coffee, toast, blackcurrant, elegant tannins. Fine structure and starting to open up now but has a bright future.

Firm with hard acidity. Blackcurrant, spice and plum.

Decent structure with firm tannin and good acidity. 54% Cab Sauv gives plenty of dark blackcurrant, coffee and spice from oak. Needs time.

78% Merlot gives rich succulent fruit but there is enough tannin to frame it and prevent flabbiness. Spicy finish

Beautiful nose of ripe fruit, coffee and spice. Elegant palate, integrated and delicious. Tannins have folded in to the fruit, silky and powerful with a long finish.

Powerful, restrained vibration and energy waiting to be unleashed. Tannic still but packed with fruit, spice and smoke. There's a huge energy and focus to this wine but it will need 10-20 years to be released from the tannic framework.

Very pleasant and ready to drink now. has opened up with black fruit spice and coffee. Tannins are still grippy and structured but not intrusive. Long smoky finish.

Very good. Smoky oak on the nose but palate is refined and smooth with superb oak integration. Fresh citrus with some ripe and complex stone fruit. Oak is never far away but sits comfortably in the background. Bravo.

Ripe fruit and tannin but spice and alcohol are too dominant. Ungainly at the moment but may settle down with more time.
