  7/12, vg cork. Decanted then immediately served.
  Medium garnet core, just a touch of mahogany, pale rim. Lovely aromatic nose, pure red fruit, florals, tea and fig notes. Medium bodied, pure red fruit and florals with just a touch of smoke and tar on the mid-palate, soft tannins, fresh acids, hint of balsam emerging on the finish. Excellent, fully mature, drink over next 3 years or so.

  1/6, vg cork. Served at c13-14C.
  Pale/medium ruby/garnet, pale rim. Nose is a touch reserved, showing dark fruit, plenty of mineral, some iron and soil. Spice and orange peel as it warms a touch. Certainly complex. Medium bodied, elegant, minerally dark fruit on the initial attack, touch of game on mid-palate, firm but fine tannins, vibrant almost crisp acidity, good length if slightly austere finish. Plenty of interest here, if very much in the mould of 2008.
