Deep garnet. Similar to October 2022. Loads of cedar & earth on the nose with liquorice & ? damsons. Similar palate. Well balanced, well integrated tannins. Penultimate bottle. Maybe finish off 2025/6.

Deep garnet. Not so much fruit on the nose, very earthy with some cedar. Still some dark fruits on the palate with syrup, figs and leather. Full bodied, well balanced, long finish. Evolving well and still drinking well. Probably good for another 3/4 years?

Full, rich, spicy with quite a soft texture; blackberry/damson fruit, quite intense, attractively mature but still vigorous. A fine example, which is excellent now but should still keep well.

Gang of 4 in Covid19 times; South America (@ RW): In the bouquet dark berries and cherries. Same on the palate, blackberries, dark olives, some oak, good acidity and bitterness. Full bodied and very tasty. It was my last bottle and that is a pity. Although ready to drink now, it will probably still be great 3+ years from now.

Dark ruby. Rich, dark fruit, spice nose. Full bodied, well balanced wine. Tannins well integrated. Plums, damsons, cinnamon, vanilla palate. Outstanding wine. 15% alcohol. Should have 5+years of life left.
