Look, I like it and it is a very well made wine but I just can’t get too excited. Made in an old school style it feels, fairly well balanced but a little heavy on the toasty oak. Fruit holding up well and tannins fine and thread the wine nicely. Dark plummy and blackberry fruit, black olives, firm oak. I can’t see it improving but I don’t feel it will fall over in a hurry either. Under cork.

Cork, barely stained. Rich and dark appearance, and this follows on to the aromas and flavours. Dark fruits, dark chocolate, sweet spices, leather. Plush in the mouth, with velvety tannins. Shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.

Still young with powerful tannins and fruit. Well balanced but and will drink well for years. Lovely drinking experience.

Still holding up, although I wouldn't wait any longer. Nice flavors and balance, but starting to take on a hair of pruniness.

Tragedy, my last 2 bottles! Still drinking well and showing no signs of age. Do decant well before drinking. Enjoy!
