Lovely deep garnet; fragrant, whisps of violet & roses, then sous bois & woodsmoke; some tannins remain, forthright rather than plush,-reflects its status, refreshing acidity provides lift; good depth & vigour on an extended finish. A bit of a rough diamond. No doubt will age but to what effect? Better with food. 24 hours, this has fleshed out & is holding up well.

SLDS May 2019: Raspberry and redcurrant, roses, smoke and slate. Good red fruited profile, clean and stylish. Very good detail for the level. Nice early drinking wine.

A punchy and vibrant nose of violets and sour cherry. It is expressive in the mouth with generous fruit flavours tinged by earth. It has much more structure than you'd expect for it's level and whilst it is delicious now it will age.

Crystal-clear ruby red colour, very closed nose with hint of oak and gas. Sour cherries and fresh fruits like mango and pineapple, some dark chocolate and very fine tannin. Finish with lots of flowers. An elegant and enjoyable wine but definitely overpriced.

Dark; low-key, finessed; polished, plenty of weight, flash, supple; good presence on long finish. Can be drunk now, but probably will peak in a couple of years.
