A fabulous wine. Colour inky and deep. Bouquet not overpowering but blackcurrant. On the palate the wine was huge. Beautifully balanced mixture of fruit, tannins and acid. Soft black fruit flavours, rich and soft. The aftertaste went on for ever - this is a fabulous wine - i dont often drink pure cab sav nowadays, but this will make me seek out more. I had this with steak and couscous with olives, the latter complemented the wine perfectly. I must get more of this.

Beautiful golden colour - honey bouquet with hint citrus, very smooth, good weight, citrus on the taste, which was overpowering when the wine was first poared, but settled beautifully as the wine warmed up a bit (too cold to begin with). Lingring aftertaste - yummy.

This wine had gone over somewhat. Slightly bick in colour, should have been drunk before now. Lacking in fruit, some caramel on the bouquet. On the palate the wine was smooth, but fruit lacking. Interestingly, after an olive, some more fruit was found on the taste, but this is an old , slighly over wine - shame.
