  Deep garnet.
  Dried berries, spice nose.
  Ripe, dark fruits on the palate. Well integrated tannins. Medium/full balanced long finish.
  This is drinking well and good for another2/3 years I think.

  Tastes a lot like a cabernet franc, or possibly tannat: smoky tannins and very little fruit, muted flavour overall. Bottle might be flawed, but it's not obviously corked. There might be a suggestion of damp basement, but if there is it's behind the smoke, far from dominant.

  Not much on the nose, red fruits and a touch of graphite. Quite matt. To taste, better no greenness which is common with this grape, mellow gravelly fruit. Nice maturity, good balance. A credible alternative to a decent Claret. A touch tarry on the finish. Good with lamb for Sunday lunch.

  Full bodied, plums, a little closed even after an hours decanting, needs more time.
