  Cool nose of iron and blood, with a little farmyard too. Light on the palate but lacks the stuffing of the best. A very respectable wine if not great. JLL review of 3.5 stars is bang on really.

  Well integrated, smooth and elegant. Good fruit - dark sour cherry; with some minerals and very smooth tannins. I wish I had more.

  Excellent, 13% alc.
  Colour: cloudy brick red
  Bouquet: dry, herby, black olives, black berry, spice
  Palate: as bouquet, licorice, black cherries, smokey, boot polish. Closed for a couple of hours, but eventually opens out and is a powerful wine. Still subtle. Chewy tannins, but well integrated. Long clean finish.

  Great wine! A time in bottle did a great job for this wine. Smooth, light, complex, and ready to drink.

  Very smoky! Great acidity, still tannic, medium body. Great wine. It can improve a little more, although ready to drink.
