Lovely deep colour. Full in the mouth whilst remaining tight. Good length. Mature without any sign of tiring. Drink by 2028. Decanted using a gentle aeration funnel two hours before drinking.

Deep red/purple colour in the decanter without any visible signs of age, and an earthiness to the bouquet. Beautifully silky smooth in the mouth, with a medium/full weight and great length. The wine is well balanced and drinking beautifully, still at its peak.
Opened with a Durand and decanted using a Venturi for two hours before drinking.

A 50/50 cabernet merlot drinking well now in August 2023. Medium bodied, rich and mouth filling with elegant tannins providing enough length and structure to savour. Decanted using the Venturi an hour or more before drinking.
