Mushrooms on on the nose. Full bodied and a smooth but a little simple and short.

Worryingly oxidative aromas but balanced by an almost tropical fruit profile on the palate and good acidity. Very much alive and with plenty of time left. Lovely.

Thickly textured with good tannins remaining. Modest length and beginning to mature. Good acidity but ever so slightly disjointed. Good but nothing too special.

Good wine, beginning to open out into early maturity. Reasonably low-acid, but a good all round food wine.

Cinnamon and scrumpy flavours. Good purity but the scrumpiness is too off-putting for some.

The two recent halves of this wine have both seemed rather closed-down. It has lost the tannin, bouquet and vibrancy of the young wine but has yet to open out.

An interesting Malbec. More medium bodied than many others with a restrained palate. A balance of berry fruit with a distinct soy/umami element.
