Just starting to show it's seniority. Damson jam nose, thick, heady & spicy bouquet. Figs & tar taste with plenty of tannin & a very long finish. Ten years plus left here.

Garnet red with a subtle nose of cherries & mint. Decanted after tannins were so high on first tasting, much smoother after 30 minutes with a distinct bacon flavour before the tannins kick in and give a lingering aftertaste of eucalyptus & tobacco. A super little wine.

Very dark purple in colour. A sweet nose of bramble blackberries and leather, silky tannins with a nice fruit mouthful, the finish was tart with a hint of liquerice. I am a fan of the 2007 vintage, they are not keepers but taste so fresh at this age when perhaps in better years the big names would not be approached for a decade or more.
