Medium red , slightly subdued smoky nose but opened up after decanting with more forest floor character . Soft tannins , ripe fruit but a touch short on palate , well balanced wine with purity , drinking well but risky to keep long term as fruit starting to fade

Dense dark red with no browning, black currant and savoury bouquet . Intense concentrated black fruit with long palate , trace of green tannins but more than enough ripe fruit to compensate. Drinking well now and for at least 10 years

Dark red , no browning , rich smooth palate with a little CF spiciness , dark berry fruits nose - drinking superbly with beef Wellington- no hurry but no point keeping
