Tasted as part of a Grenache tasting: Decanted for 2 hours before tasting. Garnet with a little umber. Lots of sediment. Beautiful oaky nose, giving way to marzipan and cherry. A silky mouth mouth, very long (30sec+). Wine of the night.

In the glass, an inky core with a fading brownish rim. Distant blackcurrant on the nose, with raspberries and strawberries. Most of the fruit has vanished from the palette, which is light, tannic. The slightest touch of sweetness and acidity. Didn't open up a great deal over several hours; likely past its best.

Mature broken down blackcurrant, and leather nose lifted by light sweet fragrant fennel seed. Mouth filling flavour and dry, savoury olive finish, this is elegant and fine but still has some juicy fruit and enough acidity to keep it together. This is a lovely, fresh interesting and balanced wine. 92 points

Pale garnet coloured. Unfortunately there is a touch of TCA on the bottle which has flattened all the aromas and flavours.
