Deep colour, dark plum red, clear 3 Alluring nose. Sweet fruit, floral. Complex. Blackcurrant jam and spice. Toffee. 6.5 Full bodied. Dry. Moderate acidity. Restrained fruit. Slightly astringent. Furry tannin at the tip of the tongue. Good structure. Warm finish. Spicy. It would probably be better with a few more years age to allow the tannin to soften. Try again in 2 years? Will the fruit characters fade or develop? 7.7

Bright magenta - purple, medium depth, clear. 3/3 Vibrant crushed berry nose, complex. Floral hints, mint, cinnamon, pimento. Vanilla. 6.4/7 Full body. Generous cassis fruit. Soft, delicate tannin. Nicely balanced. Dry. Moderate acidity. Long and even palate structure. Warm spirit finish but not too sharp for comfort. Very long spicy finish. Very easy to drink, even though it is just 3 years old. It’s not too young to enjoy now but has plenty of fruit and tannin to last for many years. 8.8/10
