Outstanding! Rich brambles, forest fruits/berries with a woody & spicy note. Dense fruits in the mouth with a complex spiced character and just a trace of caramel. Lovely, lovely wine.

Dark ruby; Medium+ to full intensity ripe bramble, coffee, chocolate, spice and caramel on the nose; smooth on the palate with medium tannins and medium acidity - a little bitterness there though (over-extracted?) which detracts from the picture. Medium+ fruity caramel finish.

Inky, opaque, deep blackberry colour. A complex bouquet, loads of fruit with tobacco and oak. Fruity, liquorice, very soft tannins, good balance, smooth, quite long.

Great perfume and quite nicely balanced. Drink up - it won't get better than this.

The beginnings of age.
Mature, welcoming, inviting nose, slight oxidisation.
Fruity, tannic, complex, peppery, hot, quite long.
