  Tasted blind this time alongside 4 other wines and a shame say I didn’t recognise it! Deep ruby, inky colour with aromas of blackcurrant, capsicum, green pepper. The palate offers up blackberry and blackcurrant, spices with a chalky, slightly drying finish.

  Dark ruby with smoky black fruit. The palate is medium bodied with a thick texture of sweet blackcurrant and black cherry with a cedar finish. Tannins and fruit are well integrated, still primary and perfect with a barbecued butterflied leg of lamb.

  Classic California Bordeaux blend. Sweet black fruit with cedar aromas which follows through on the rich, velvety, soft textured palate. Delicious with lamb chops but much prefer a fine Claret.

  Deep, dense red colour. Green pepper, a rich of oak and blackberries on the nose. Similar flavours with a bit of vanilla from the oak. Lovely and rounded with a touch of acid bite. Very enjoyable.

  Clear, deep red colour. Rich, expressive nose - plum, cassis and a touch of rosemary. Similar flavours with a touch of creaminess and a savoury edge. Very enjoyable with lots of life left in it.
