Dull damson red, red rim. Very little sediment in the bottle. Oak and alcohol nose. Smooth in the mouth, lingers well. Good with food. Bit short of fruit. Drink up.

Sparkling clear ruby, light sediment. Not much nose. Violet and leather. Quite delicate, but in balance. Decant at least an hour beforehand. Two years before decline?

Pale cherry rim, ruby centre. Light and fragrant. Red berry fruits, not much tannin. Easy drinking but not much to mature. Drink up.

Needs decanting two hours to show well. Initially very muted but blossomed later. Good weight, blackcurrant and cedar. Balanced. Not much length.

Classic bdx nose with a hint of tobacco and cedar. Very good spicy taste.
