Black cherry core with plum-purple right to the edges. Nose of fresh blackberries and summer fruits with a little stewed plum. A very slight hint of eucalyptus. Juicy and lovely nose. Fresh in the mouth with some good structure. Mixed summer fruits - berries and currants. A nice mouthful with a slightly sour cherry finish. very few signs of age.

This seems to have benefited greatly from six months of being still. It seems brighter and fruitier than in previous bottles. Burgundy-purple with a crimson hue - youthful appearance. Rich, bright berry fruits on the nose, with a roasted, smoky note; a little ground black pepper; pretty big nose. Big but balanced fruit flavours. Lightly-spiced black and red fruits. Good, grainy tannins.

Thick purple-ruby; youthful. Red and mixed forest fruits but with a creaminess that makes it dessert-like; thick and herby. Rich but soft in the mouth. Big and thick mixed forest fruits with juicy, acidic follow-through. This vintage is definitely bigger - richer and more intense - than previous years's and will last longer; and there's less sour fruit too.

Thick purple with crimson tones. Sweet red and black fruits on the nose, with slight earthy-dustiness and an intense spine; not quite menthol but definitely nose-tickling. Thick rich, black fruits to taste,a little jam (without being 'jammy'). Strong flavours, but nice.

Purple-ruby. Earthy-sweet aromas - blackcurrant jam smells without being too jammy; a slight dustiness. A lovely rich and dusty black fruit flavour. Black fruit jam towards the finish, then a lingering fruity dustiness. This is definitely stronger than previous vintages.
