An attractive and distinctive package, ripe fruit, well-judged oak, balancing acidity, hint of earthiness, nice flavour intensity, good length. Solid Rully.
Relatively light weight, bright red fruit, hint of cream, refreshing smoky minerality and lively acidity, adequate flavour intensity, good length. Again a solid Olivier Leflaive wine, not really terroir specific but attractive, pure and authentic.
Nice, basic, solid port wine. No faults, no outstanding characteristics, good black fruit and spice, not too sweet, attractive hint of tannin, went well with the cheese tonight.

Nice basic GruVee, well-balanced, nice touch of white pepper, good varietal character, attractive and fun but still serious.
