Just starting to show some bricking and the emergence of some leather and stewed fruit completing the complexity. Still active tannins and acidity complete the very good experience.

This bottle was heads & shoulders above the last one we had in June last year. Had this bottle in place of a corked Township Reserve 7 from same vintage with similar varietal composition. This was a PnP that wowed on the nose and had depth and length on the palate. Layered dark red fruits and a cedar-y spice note. A fine bottle. Paired well with Greek takeout roast lamb (Ithaka)
Light blueberry on the nose, complimented by mild tomato stem and a faint trace of mint on the nose.
On the palate I can't get away from the red licorice and cherry. There is a touch of dry light leather and mild cassis. I'd give it about a 5-7 year window from vintage to so looking to open the next bottle in 2020.

PnD. Dark claret colour. Cassis plum fig rosemary and sage on the nose. Medium weight with silky tannins. Flavours echo the nose. Elegant fresh and complex.

Obviously too young, but I was also expecting more from this wine in this excellent vintage. The wine is a little disjuncted and off balance at the moment. There's a lot of good quality fruit, but also probably a little to much oak. Wait at least 2-3 years before opening your bottles.

Powerful and full bodied on opening, a little less so next day, but enjoyable and excellent value

Early in the drinking window but smoothing out nicely with a bit of time open.

Blue and purple fruit with a silky underlay of chocolate.
Basically a bordeaux-style blend that properly supports and enhances the best aspects of the Merlot.
Competes with right banks at a similar price level.

Good Bordeaux blend ready to go now but will be better in 2-5 years. It will be interesting to see how the 2015 vintages ages.
