This needs some time to open up, although don't expect big things. This is a modest wine. The "game" in the "Gamekeepers" name must come from the touriga grape. It gives this wine some funkiness, almost like a Pinot. In fact, the body is closer to a pinot noir than a GSM - which this must be some sort of variant. Was put off at first, but it did win me over once the fruit emerged.

Having drunk about two cases of the 2008 over time, I bought one bottle of the 2012 to try. This is an easy-drinking, medium-weight red. I really like the touch of Touriga which gives it a floral aroma and a red fruit note. I went back today and bought all that was on the shelf.
