blackberry tart infused with black tea and mocha, med weight. Shortish finish. Not much acid showing not a blockbuster, restraint and balance, showing the cooler vintage characteristics, primary. Good stuff (for the price ++), on this sample should hold at this stage for a few years.

On the Big end of town.. Riper fruit profile than the last few vintages. Usual suspects of black currant, eucalyptus,.. Sweet dark fruit palate Hmm, no heat, but is ripe-ish Still should cellar well, but maybe not as long as waiting for the 17/18/19 to mature

Savoury, leafy, red fruit, with structure and balance
Oh my, really good.
Value, not quite for the price.
But a worthy of a once off try
