Some good violet ruby tint. Big perfumed roses and bit of cinnamon on the nose. A good warmth, tannins, and fresh acids, as well as peppery, with cloves and nutmeg, and a bit of red cherries at the back. Has a bit of fritzy feel towards the finish
Pale garnet. Aromas that remind me of a fresh rose bush, and even a bit of clay earth. While having a good measure of fresh acids, the tannins proved quite grippy. Some redcurrant, red cherry, grass, pepper, nutmeg
Pale garnet. Bit of eucalyptus and forest floor aromas. Some leathers and meats, as well as s good lushness of cherry and plum. A great soft, velvety texture, and interesting complexity
Pale garnet. A nose that started off dominated by the dank basement, cardboard, pencil shavings, and fern. Grassy, sour cherry upon some glass breathing. Flavours still have the cardboard, white coal smokes and wood, with a bit of raspberry and grass at the back, and some meaty notes. Pretty good and fortunately I had given it time to express itself and not write it off as a corked wine
Pale garnet. While there is still some distinct pencil shavings on the nose, it’s well wrapped by fruits. A large measure of eucalyptus, red cherry, and fern. Lots of tannins, and some acids to boot. A good softness and lush texture. Great!

Pale straw gold. Some honeysuckle and candied melon aromas. Nectarine, straw, and slightly bready, and grassy. Juicy acids, and a pretty good length
