  Very well made with restraint and obvious class. Has aged well. Love the aromatics.

  Cork broke when pulled out. Dark red. Aromas of black fruit but also strawberrys. Very smooth. Tannins have softened. Not much acidity.
  The wine looks ruby colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like strawberry and blackberry. It tastes like blackberry. The body is light/medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

  Has proved a worthy if not particularly outstanding standby in my everyday wine section over the last 2-3 years. Happily consumed by one and all.
  My last but with the structure to last till the end of the decade.

  First note although this has been one of our house wines for a year or two.
  Good firm plum and dark berry fruit, assertive but integrated tannins and acidity. A wine for food and in need of a decent decanting time.
  Structure certainly indicates life (and improvement potential) until at least the end of the decade. 88+
