Deep ruby colour. Medium+ intensity on the nose, with aromas of black currant, black pepper, jamminess, charred wood, cooked blackberry and leather. It’s developed but still shows some primary flavours. On the palate it’s full bodied with high acid, alcohol and tannins. It has medium+ flavour intensity showing dark cherry, black currant and cooked blackberry and tobacco. Overall a good wine. It can be drunk now and while developed will last another 3-5yrs.

Medium garnet appearance. Nose of medium intensity, with aromas of charred wood / smoke, dried blackberry/cranberry and leather. Fully developed. On the palate it’s dry, full bodied with high acid and medium + tannin. The flavour follows the aromas but it’s probably past it’s best. The flavours are a bit lost and the finish is overwhelmed with acid vs fruit. Overall. It’s acceptable but won’t last much longer.
