Slightly reductive this gave a huge wallop of menthol, assorted black fruits, black olive and tar infused with spice, pepper and heat. Plush, smooth and polished the alcoholic burn on the finish was mitigated by the quality of the fruit for the most part. Dry and savoury but would have been improved by more lift and freshness.

Dark red centre, red rim, immediately appealing nose. Full, sweetly rich but not over done. Excellent now, will hold at peak for a couple of years. Delicious and good value. .

Still very dark. Benefits from opening a couple of hours before drinking. Full bramble nose. Full, good tannins but fruit dominates. Merging well together. Some vanilla from the oak. Lingering taste is raspberries and Syrah. Goes well with food

Still dark, ruby rim, crusted sediment. Vanilla dominates the nose. Medium bodied. Tobacco and blackberry linger. Enjoyable, but thinning. Drink up.

Really forward and robust but fruity with it, soft tannins. Will possibly last a year or so but id drink now.
