Fairly tight at first but it started to open up after 3 hours in the bottle. Dark ruby/purple in colour. On the nose, there were dark and red cherries, french oak, roasted coffee and a hint of earthiness. On the palate, it was medium to full bodied, fairly rich with some good acidity and fine tannins. The finish was long.

Brick-red in colour.....On the nose, there were aromas of red and dark fruits, animal, toffee, vanilla oak and spice. On the palate, it was medium-bodied, very well balanced with good acidity and firm tannins. The finish was long. Drink now-2015.

Dark ruby/purple in colour. Intense aromas of mango when it was first opened. After 1 hour in the bottle, it revealed aromas of mango, dark fruits, coffee, new oak and spice, I couldn't definately smell the high alcohol content. The wine was medium to full bodied, rich and well rounded on the palate. The finish was medium. The high alcohol content definately impaired the enjoyment. Drink now to 2014.
