Blackcurrant and pencil shaving, medium weight, lovely balance. Good colour and fruit despite its age. Still got enough backbone so perfect with a roast leg of lamb.

Ruby and youthful but a nose of which show it’s age with some wet rot wood, blackcurrant, damp forest floor. The palate is brighter with lots of blackcurrant and red cherry fruit but those tertiary notes of damp vegetation on the finish. Not as good a my last bottle, I sensed there was a little cork taint.

Deep ruby, still youthful on the eye. Nose of blackberry, Victoria plum. The palate still has ripe blackberry and blackcurrant, plums, spices, some earthy, dried leaf notes too. Meduium body, tannins still present with life left in it.

Nice fruit, medium body, charming tannins, a rather long finish and restrained 12,5% - in short quite a good wine. I would be happy to find it at an auction again if quotation is o.k.

Nice fully resolved plummy wine. Nose is mineral and slightly smokey, proper sweetness on the palate. Apparently 45% merlot, but it seems to me as though it is dominating the palate. But overall very nice. At this age, maybe a touch short, otherwise I would give it higher marks...
