Opens with mixed hedgerow fruit but also has a real gaminess to it. There's a lightness to the mouthfeel and an intensity to the finish. The wine is now starting to show itself. Decanted 45 mins.

The bitter tannins are finally starting to recind and the primary black fruits coming to the fore. A bit of VA still but at the very start of a very long drinking window. Finally.

Juicy blackberry and blueberry, forest fruit jam, pepper and leather flavors in a well balanced wine. It’s not lost its acidity and tannins over the last ten years. For what I paid it isn’t a value proposition, but it’s delicious.

Vibrant ruby-purple. Attractive if not wildly aromatic nose of berry jam. The jamminess isn't apparent on the palate, which is elegant, medium-bodied, fresh and very long. There's a hint of peppery spice too. Tannins are fully integrated into the overall structure and don't make themselves known at all. All in all, it's very good indeed. Cork, 14%.

Concentrated with blackberries and tertiary notes of liquorice also quite strong.
