Deep garnet, medium body, mild briar aromas, muted dark fruits and strong earthiness, mild acids, mild/moderate tannins, medium finish. Fantastic value for dirt drinkers. I wouldn't risk waiting longer and will drink last bottles in next year.

Quite an earthy mid weight, slightly tart wine. Red forest berries, the tart finish indicates early picked fruit. Tertiary notes quite advanced, giving cedar and leather flavours. Medium structure, hence the somewhat early ageing. Medium finish, some complexity. Drink now and over the next 10 years.

Inky magenta. Cassis, spicebox, and leather nose. Medium to full bodied, blackberries, piercing red cherries, lots of tongue coating tannins, smoke, and a long dry finish. A good wine and a great value. Plenty of time left.
