Delicately aromatic, reminiscent of Muscat.It seems sweet but it's dry, fresh, slightly oily in the mid palate, quite long.

Initially there's sulphur on the nose, steely and mineral.Very fruity (apples), good balance, very much like a Bordeaux, quite long.
Odours of wet dog and cream.Honey and cream with tangerine, good balance, quite long.
Slightly oaky but very delicate and pleasant nose.A sweet attack and it remains almost sweet throughout, quite refreshing, a competent wine.
Velvety fruity nose.Strongly tannic, fruity, smooth and under control, tobacco, strawberries in dark chocolate, warming and long.
Oaky nose, baked and poached fruit, germolene.Quite tannic, fruity, at its best now. Significant sediment, needs decanting.
Very fruity, attractive nose.Very fruity attack, tannic raisins! smooth mid palate, quite long.
Very attractive bouquet of fresh and cooked fruit with flowers.Lovely bordeaux-ish style, sof but obvious tannins and a good length. Needs keeping 5-8 years.
