Tannin encases the palate, developed with autumnal leaves, and earth...table thought not a good bottle/ not representative, looked okay but not at its best
Deep & dark fruits, a big wine with ample oak. Will require another 5-10 years before its approachable / at its best. A bit young still with time required for integration.

Fresh, lemon, crisp and pure, delightful although a perhaps a higher dosage than I would have liked. A minor quibble.

Light bodied but underpinned with power, tannins but enclosed within the frame of the fruit, but still young. Fresh cherries, delicious

Looking good, lovely array of red / purple fruits, tar and earth. Showing well, especially considering the under appreciated vintage.

Dark and somewhat at the richer end of the scale. Drinking nicely and should show well for a few more years yet.
