  Deep purple. Nose of damson, violets and herbs. The palate has good plummy fruit but with a very nice dried herb edge to it which makes it very appealing.

  Still has a purple hue, despite its age. Nose is a little dusty, library books, the fruit comes through later and is damson and plummy and violets too. The palate is soft, fruit forward plummy flavours, still nice acidity, no discernible tannins so probably at its best so if you hold any drink it up.

  Bright blackcurrent nose. Touch of spicy. Light footed palette. Cool. A food wine which manages to be new world yet has a glipse of dusty cardboards.
