From magnum. Mienrally, touch of smoke, citrus. Linear with fine mousse. Decent length.

Ripe blackcurrant fruit, touch of mocha. Medium/full bodied, ripe dark fruit, mouth-filling, soft tannins, a touch of savour, fresh acids, some chocolate on the good length finish. Excellent, certianly approachable.

A touch closed at first, slowly opening to reveal blueberry fruit, plum, lovely purity - noble. Some floral perfume. Medium bodied, elegant, very fine tannins, less fat but by no means lean, fresh/vibrant acids, lovely line, a touch constricted still on the finish but very fine. From 2028ish?

Nose shows ripe darker fruit, chocolate. A touch spirity and sweaty. Medium bodied, ripe black fruits, a touch of warmth and slightly furry tannins on the finish. OK but not at the level of the other two in this flight.

1/8.
Lovely bright, deep ruby. Shows dark fruit, florals, touch of mineral, has richness but also freshness. Medium bodied, deep dark fruit, touch of roast meat, florals too, very fine tannins, lovely energy, fersh/vibrant acidity carrying a very good length finish. Excellent/outstanding, starting to drink but for the long haul.

Pale/medium garnet. Open and fragrant nose with pure blue fruits, touch of caramel. Medium bodied, more red-toned fruit on the palate, very fine tannins, fresh acidity, decent length harmonious finish. Drinking well.

Ripe nose, dark fruit, chocolate, some lactic notes. Medium/full bodied, rich, copious and mouth-filling, ripe dark fruit, soft tannins, cut through by attractove contrasting acidity, very good length finish. Palate better than the nose! Drinking well.

Deep garnet. Slightly oxidised note on the nose - stale coffee - red.brownish fruit. A bit better on the palate - jsut about holdign together anyway if a bit short on the finish.

Bilberry and plum fruit on the nose, touch of chocolate and soil. Medium/full bodied, attractive bilberry fruit, floral notes, attractive fresh acidity, good length harmonious finish. Excelent, drinking well.

Ripe plum and blueberry nose, vanilla, flroals. Medium/full bodied, lovely pure blue fruits, layered and atctile with soft tannins then lovely vibrant acidity carrying a lingering finish. Delicious and hitting its stride.
