Medium straw, viscous, starbright. Aromas of ripe peach and nectarine, slight cream, lemon curd, and straw. Full bodied and off-dry, with ripish fruits, light creamy acidic texture, but significant alcohol heat, with ripe peach and pineapple flavour, grass and hay. Straightforward at the back
Medium ruby, fairly thick legs. Ripe red cherry aromas, with florals, tar, greyish stones. Medium weighted, but some tannin bites, with medium ripe red cherry and cranberry, while having dried florals and tar. Straightforward
Medium ruby, fairly thick legs. Aromas of coffee, cocoa, some red cherry, bit of hay and butterscotch. Some good structural balance of the fine tannins and bright acids, whilst with flavours of ripe red cherry, cinnamon, liquorice, coffee, bit of hawthorne and hay, bit of dried flowers, herbs, and a hint of cola. Medium length
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Deep ruby with pink violet hue, with thick legs. Nose of caramel, hay, cocoa, red and black cherry, red flowers, hay, bit of barnyard funk. On the palate it's pretty rich, with silky tannins and bright acids, and red and black cherry flavours and bit of cola, black pepper, hay, and darkish florals. Fairly long at the back and shows good complexity. Nice!

Medium ruby, with browning and fading edges. Intense nose, with ripe black cherry aromas, brambles, coffee, leather, cocoa, and hay. Lovely silky tannins balanced by bright acids, with wheaty biscuit flavours, as well as ripe red cherry, brambles, plum, nutmeg, cinnamon, dark florals, black pepper, leather. Fairly long, and a complex one. Nice!
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Medium garnet, with fading edges, and thick legs. Green herbal nose, along with medium ripe red cherry and cranberry, cola, walnut, pepper, and hint of coffee. Very soft and silky tannins, with flavours of ripe strawberry and raspberry, and some stemmy greens and leaves, red florals, and a touch of pepper and cinnamon. Lengthy towards the back, and nice refined feels. Great how it shows fruit purity, and yet it's so refined
