  - Garnet color with fast forming legs. It's balanced and has flavours of prune, cherry, dusty and eucalyptus with a medium/full body. Flabby texture with a long finish - A lot of fruit for the age
  Ready to drink now and for another 5 years
  Incredibly balanced and smooth
  Delicious upon opening--no need to breathe or decant

  - Brick color with fast forming legs and aromas of black currant. It's balanced and has flavours of strawberry jam, vanilla and bacon with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a long finish - Good right from the bottle
  Some unresolved tannins
  This wine will be good 15 years from now

  - Crimsom color and aromas of black currant, blackberry, cherry, bell pepper and mushroom. It's balanced and has flavours of mushroom and bell pepper with a medium/full body. Leathery texture with a medium finish - Old world style
  Very earthy like the leafy ground in a forest
  If you like the feel of burning leaves, which I do, you will enjoy thie
  Warm finish
