Quite dark, but aged looking : mahogany at the core but thinning rapidly through garnet to a watery orange rim. Nose has a lovely aged burgundy feel - very light and sweet with cherries and redcurrants, a mushroomy sousbois and a touch of volatile acidity. Mouth entry is smooth, cool and sweet, with quite light red fruits and a lovely spiciness. Mid-palate shows good fruit density and nice acidity. Long tasty finish shows a meaty element too. Enjoyable but not very sophisticated. **

Again, good. Fluller and flesher with more weight in the mid-palate. Good acidity, gamey flavours and nuances, reasonably complex, also a little caramel and mushroom. Enjoyable.

Glorious. Served quite cool - far better. Note consistent with first bottles.
