Cherry, stemmy on nose. Showing good red berry fruit in the mouth. Medium body, good savory-fruit interplay. Had this before 8 months ago the first of 6 bottles and was not impressed due to thin, tart profile. This has the warmth of the berry fruit with some spiciness on the mouth and finish Very good village level for 2011. Will keep for 2-3 years.

Closed at the beginning, but broadens well after some time expressing strawberry, red cherry, light vanilla and toast. Ripe tannins, good weight in the mouth balanced by fresh acidity. Nice length.

Strong colour; initially shy nose, this flourishes, moving into secondary phase; on the light side, with air this fills out. Can be drunk now but best left a couple of years.
