Rich cassis sweetness on the nose. Quite a dark, opulent wine - black fruit, tar, cedar, a hint of menthol and tumeric. Well balanced alcohol, with a long sweet then dry finish rounded off with some red apple. Drinking very well now, but could probably last longer.

Amber in colour. Toast and creme creme brulee on the nose. Masses of flavour - pineapple, honey, stone fruit with flinty minerality, deep herbaceous notes and cream leading to an almost savoury dry finish with hints of apple. Beautiful and could certainly have been kept longer.

Drinkable but fairly one-dimensional. Big cherry and a hint of cold meat, smokey finish.
