Colour very much bricking now. Nose of leather and tobacco leaf sweetness with an exotic touch of incense. This exotic note lasts onto the palate, which has a good amount of cherry fruit, good acidity, providing balance. Tannins are there, giving an essential grip to the wine, but they have a gentleness to them now. Really good and interesting bottle for the money, will buy again.

The color is fading to brick red with an orangish tinge. Aromas of mushrooms, figs and some eucalyptus. Dark berries and cherries on the palate with well balanced acidity, very soft tannins and a good finish. Went very well with a broiled lamb dish.

Turning garnet, very nicely mature. Soft, leathery, a little tobacco, gentle but pronounced acidity keeps it fresh despite the age.

Sweet plum, dark cherry nose. Dark brooding, sweet cherry palate, some spice and herb. Medium/full, medium finish. Comforting, if not interesting.
