Beautiful clear vibrant ruby red. Touch of brick at the rim. No sediment. Hint of autumn on the nose (leaf mound, mushroom) but also fruit. Medium weight, not too tannic. Raspberry, cherry and tobacco, with a long, interesting finish. Almost smokey, tobacco leaf. Still strong enough for cheese. On form, and will last to end of window (2020).

Pale brick red, completely see through, no sediment. Delicate cherry nose. Light, cherry and oak. Lovely depth and warmth. Coped well with lamb. Redcurrant fruits throughout. Very enjoyable and significantly more balanced than before.

Pale raspberry red, brick edge going to clear. Tobacco and old leather on the nose. Starting to dry out. Drink up.

Delicate, raspberry and autumn flavours. Not improving. Struggled with food. Drink up.
