Dark in the glass.
Nose has amber and dried lemon, some honey and nuts but clean.
Advanced on the palate with a particularly nutty finish.
A bit too evolved - drink up

Nice mature nose, a little sous boise but some dark cherry and blue plum. Lovely nearly sweet red fruit on the attack, super sapid mid palate and finish with a little pomegranate tang. Lovely.

Quite a subtle nose. Over-ripe strawberry and green leaf, a little spearmint. Palate is a bit more generous with sapid strawberry and raspberry. Very long persistent finish. Nice

Last bottle of this wasn't quite right - this was good.
Lovely polished nose - deep red cherry, a little medical dressing / witch hazel (in a good way).
In a good position on the palate fresh yet soft red fruit and a long finish.

Shyer nose then the 2014. Fresher red fruit and some ferrous kick. Feels very young on the palate - bright and spritzy fruit. Opens up a bit with time.
Good stuffing but needs longer

Over ripe plum but with a little tangy lift, and some witch hazel.
Excellent palate - great intensity of sapid fruit. Really juicy long finish. Really really good - sort of wine that convinces me that red burgundy is worth the hassle.
