Thought I would treat myself and opened my last bottle of this wine. Stunning from the first sip and got better as it opened up. Soft, full and very long with a huge depth of flavour. Tannins still there, but rounded and balanced. A great wine.

No formal note. This had an intense and quite youthful classic sour red cherry flavour profile with a touch of spice, firm but refined tannins and lovely fresh acidity, and although well balanced and showing nice fruit purity, lacked complexity and a touch of length.

Very pleasurable wine showing plenty of typicity. This is all dark cherries, capiscum and sweetness. More hedonistic than intellectual, but in an understated sort of way. There is a bit of savoury and tannic character missing to make this a true "serious" wine but serve this to friends with pasta and everyone will be asking for more. No point in cellaring this any longer, by the way...

Nose of flowers, strawberries. Medium bodied, elegant, long finish.
