good finish of pencil shavings and black pepper

Overall well made, complex and well balanced a very good wine can age up to 6 years. would advise at least 2 hours decanting time . goes well on its own with rare or medium stake, tender lamb at just under room temperature or chilled with chicken salad.

Expect to see this in restaurants for £30+.

the appearance of this wine is a opaque garnet colour with legs. the nose of this wines is fairly pronounced with aromas of toffee, caramel old sour cherry, blackcurrant,raspberry, strawberry, dark chocolate and tobacco wine took a while to properly open i would suggest at least 2:30 to 3 hrs decanting

on the palate this wine is dry with medium tannin the acidity was a little too high. the flavors of pomegranate,strawberry,cherry,cassias, coco,tobacco, peppermint leaf with leathery and sharpness ,a rock from a fresh stream note, and light flavors of pencil shavings.finish was medium to long and i also picked up very slight sulfurs and quite a bit of sharpness but that went after longer aeration.

this wine can age for about 5 yrs with that said this is still a good wine I just wish I had kept it !

On the palate it is dry with medium acid, 13.5% alc and noticeable tannins indicating some aging, and a medium body, the flavours coming through are of soft black fruits plums, black cherry blackberry and some blackcurrants and some slightly unripe strawberry and leatheryness which give the wine a slight sharpness. and a medium+ finish

Overall a good , well made wine . the only quibble I have is the price is a bit too much for the quality delivered
