Clear with medium deep garnet color, Nose dominated by damp earth, tart cherries . Medium to acid levels with medium body. Palate is in line with nose with tartr cherries, and some earthy herbaceousness, very dense and extracted wine. This wine was very tight needs time. Very good

Deep, youthful appearance. Some sweetness - a suggestion of cherries and a prickle of acidity to begin, but broadening into satin-textured savouriness after an hour or so. Very pleasurable with venison pasta. Now, or keep for some time.

Taking some time to evolve when opened, this has characteristic charm, tingling berry, earthy mid tongue and smooth tannins. The acids are very well balanced just now and this works very well with food.

Garnet red, alcohol dominated nose with hints of meaty red fruit, palate follows with beef steak, spicy red fruit and medicinal overtones, slightly diluted mid-palate, less involved than I'd have like but lots of great burgundy character, smokey finish

Pop 'n pour. Gorgeous expressive nose. The palate didn't deliver on the promise of the nose - a little rough and unbalanced toward the acidic side.
