  Light/medium bodied with translucent ruby colour. Good balance of ripe and tart red fruits with pomegranate, raspberry and sour plum. Some white pepper, eucalyptus, and a subtle meatiness. A bit of bitter cocoa on the finish. Not much oak but acidity quite firm. Looking very fresh at 10yrs, should comfortably live another 5 and, I suspect, another 10.

  It has a lighter/medium body, with red fruits, white pepper, spice, deli meats and a savoury/earthy tone to it. Lovely use of french oak. A very well balanced with a long lingering finish. Drink over the next 10 years. A fantastic wine. Best to decant for at least a couple of hours to show its best.

  A lighter-bodied wine with layers of spice, red and black fruits. Elegant with good acid spine and fine tannins. Lighter than the average Craiglee, based on this tasting this is a short to medium term prospect, however this is a flexible choice for the dining table now. (W)

  Cherry nose. Dry wine needs a bit more age
