Pnp then drank over next four hours. A deep garnet, almost black - the intensity of the flavours was similar to the depth of colour. Very smooth now - some tannics but very soft with dark fruit. Nose of spice, plum and a hint of vanilla - my wife thought it was a Syrah. Warm but not the heat the 15% alcohol might lead you to expect. This is all about the enveloping richness rather than structure and elegance.

Somebody wrote 5 years ago that this wine was "smooth and fruity, rich and intense - but this wine is in its infancy and will develop beautifully." Well, I can say that it is no longer in its infancy and yes, it did develop beautifully! Great wine, great fruit, great mouth feel.

Dark garnet, almost black. Very dark fruited and smoky. Good balance of acidity and tannins. Long finish. Just delicious and peaking.
