dark red, slightly brick tinge, strong aroma. Not overly fruity nor acidic, but a fair amount of well-integrated tannins - overall lovely drinking with risotto or pasta

Rich maroon red. Blackberry and blackcurrant, chocolate and a touch of mint. Moderate oak on nose. Quite heavy initial mouthfeel with rich berry fruit. Acidity a little strong. Mint more noticeable on aftertaste. Tannic, needs time. Changed completely over the period of about 1/2 hour - seemed less 'fruit-bomb', and the oak became more apparent.

Just drank the last of this. Still going well. A little age showing in the colour. Nicely balanced fruit and tannins
