Deep ruby colour. Aroma of blackberry, plum, cigar box, saw dust, forest floor. Plum, blueberry, blackberry. Grippy drying tannin, medium body, fruit fruits. Still young but the tannin is overpowering. Probably deserves more time decanting.

Medium gold colour, medium aroma of green pear, lemon, grapefruit, wet stones, aromas of smoke. On the palate off dry, high acidity, medium body and medium finish. Peach, lychee, lemon, pear. On the third day and the acid has settled down, fruit is more evident and smoother. With some decanting I am sure I could have got this on the first night.

Dark ruby colour. Pronounced aroma of pepper, spice, plum, varnish, blackberry, cedar. Dry, prominent fine tannin, medium + acidity. Plum, blueberry, eucalyptus, pepper, milk chocolate. Requires some time to breathe to fully come out. A big strong wine that is years away from hitting its peak. I feel it is actually too early to enjoy this wine. Give it at least another 2 years to start.
