Dark black colour with a purple hue. Oak aroma, woodsy, and a some vegetal/leaf notes and I have to dig to get past before the fruit starts to come out. Synthetic tannin like quality, sugary weight and jammy style with and almost sweet vanilla pudding finish. Fruit juice. I don't understand all the rage with this one.

Clean & clear.Green apples and pear a hint of flint. Crips bottle with good length, lemon and zest flavour profile and a hint of stone on the finish. good stuff.

Clear and with a youthful hue and colour. Red fruit and cherry aroma, a hint of florality and some flint but I also get chocolate or vanilla note. On the palate it opens up with ripe cherry and, has flavours with good length and medium tannins finishing dry and slightly acidic. tasty and elegant.
