  From magnum. This bottle was clean and fresh, showing a smokey nose, but with plenty of fruit still alongside and smooth as you like, on this showing mags will keep and maybe develop a little longer

  Very balanced, with discernible acidity and strong notes of coffee and chocolate both in the nose and the palate. Lovely and seductive.

  Deep red colour
  Smells of plums and fruit getting on for dried fruit but not quite, dark spices from new oak
  Good acidity, quite a lot of smoke initially, touch of the old SA stink but that recedes and you're left with a ripe, spicy wine other plenty of freshness left
  I don't think it's going to turn into something spectacular but this as good with rare beef. No hurry to drink.
