Inky black colour to this wine, and it left this indelible stamp on the cork and glass. Well balanced “big” wine that held up quite well to beef tenderloin. Extracted without any stewed flavours, it really was a lovely wine. A touch thin only on the finish.

Deep, dark and brooding wine that almost manages to hide it’s high alcohol. Served immediately after opening, it may have benefited from being decanted.
