From mag. Very solid for its level with beautiful, sweet fruit, just hint of spice, white clay and iron and very fine tannins. Medium body and lenght. No need for further cellaring but will likely hold for another 5-10 years on this level, at least in magnum format.

Light to medium garnet, the bouquet is savoury-edged with undergrowth, cerise, dry bark and crayon. A smooth entry, with lovely breadth, the fruit is juicy with sour red cherry, liquorice and aniseed flavours. Relatively grippy tannin, a mineral/crushed stone edge, makes the wine feel bone dry. Medium in length, the wine is remarkably delicate with this savoury angle, although it is just starting to fade a little.

Aromas are better with plenty of ripe Bing cherry and some spices with a hint of pulverised stone—a touch of crushed ant. A sweet entry shows a taffeta texture and a wonderful core of juicy fruits - from tinned strawberries to red cherry paste. Quite a generous mid-palate and feeling heavy-handed at times, it perhaps has seen better days. However, the finish is splendid with a building mineral element, salted cherries and persistence on the length.

Light+ brick red Initial notes show some slight oxidation with volatility noted too. There is s dumbing of the fruit yet the oak seems to show well. The palate reflects the issues of the nose although there is some juicy cherry fruits and preserved strawberries lurking Slightly flawed? decided to open second bottle
