This one smelt of a wet field of cut borage standing next to one of rape. Feel like I have to pinch my nose to drink this. Once in the mouth, the bright dark fruit is much better than the aroma.

The smell on drawing the cork was quite spectacularly off-putting but a bit of airtime brought out a delicious scent of violets which carried through onto the palate. I really like the way this wine develops with time in air...

Very deep purple. Loads of red and black fruit. Also raw meat, earth and hints of new leather and spice. Fresh. Dry. Fruit really follows through on palate. Nicely balanced. Very drinkable. Excellent value for the price.

Very good value. Earthy aroma gives way to fruit. Fresh on the palate, blackberries and bone dry. Significant bottle variation.

Very dark inky coloured with a tarry nose. Much more vibrant than expected on the palate with plump blackcurrant fruit and a herby finish. Nice.
