Big ripe black fruit, spicy and herbaceous, new leather. It’s big and bold, maybe a bit jammy and overripe so it comes across as a bit old-fashioned. There are better balanced vintages - the 2013 was more elegant.

Deep garnet. Ripe blackberry, cherries & liquorice on the nose and palate. Full bodied, well balanced, long finish. Very good wine with 5+ years of drinking.

Tasted blind. Dark purple with sweet blackcurrant, black cherry and menthol aromas. The palate is soft and volumptious with sweet black fruits enveloping the palate and with sugared spice and black pepper on the finish. Not the most complex but I'm sure that wouyld develop with age, but certainly moreish.

This has a dark colour, and warm, rich, spicy fruit which is still quite fresh. It should keep well for another 5 years or so.

A dark colour; concentrated, black-fruited, spicy, with good length. A fine example, drinking well now.
