From magnum in Hereford, mineral, little fruit, bit thin and weedy, some earth, better with food, hard to see upside but not obviously past it either. Just about G (15).

Very stylish number showing lots of rich chocolately dark fruits with a smoky line of incense in the background. Quite modern and polished, punches well above its price point. The oak is indeed quite evident, but adds a nice bit of fat in the back middle palate. I think this will calm down with another five years. Very good.

Heady nose with black currents the primary scent. Smooth fruit with plum and chocolate evident. Longish finish with some tannin, feels like it would do well with a short term sleep but pleasant today.

Lean, mineral, better with food than on it's own.

Roasty nose,
Firm and fresh with nice structure
Then quite a bit of vanilla-laced new oak at the end
Good fruit but find the oak a little jarring
