  Nice ruby, with no sign of ageing. Bright red fruit that still seems quite primary. Plenty of backbone. With air, and I gave it plenty of air, it becomes quite tannic. A fresh and meaty wine, with a satisfying finish, if on the rustic side. g+

  Nice limpid ruby, touch of tawniness throughout and good colour through to the rim. Nose is lovely with floral and spicy notes, robust blackberry fruit and a touch of beetroot. Lacks the precision and penetration of a great wine, but very pleasing. Mouth entry is soft - even unfocussed - leading to a mid-palate of gentle spicy red fruit. The finish is really a gentle fading, with just a touch of tannin adding a tanginess. Pleasing and still fresh, but not a great wine. **
