  This wine is now past its best and needs drinking up.
  Still very drinkable, but has flattened out a lot since last tasted.

  Limited notes. Black fruit, and pepper. Highly enjoyable but a bit short. Mr Owen below me has it perfectly, enjoyable but unremarkable, but sometimes that is what you need. Would buy again.

  Well made but unremarkable and unmemorable. Slightly funky nose upon opening - that cleared away relatively quickly but left a well structured, medium bodied but bland wine.
  Not unpleasant but rather disappointing. Like Everton FC.

  Dark ruby.
  Plums, damsons, black pepper with a hint of spice.
  Well balanced, medium tannins.
  Enjoyable as before, continues to drink well.
  Another 2-3 years drinking window I think.

  Dark ruby.
  Earthy, blackberry nose.
  Smoke, wood, blackberry palate.
  Still a little astringent.
  Certainly hasn’t improved since last year, but pleasant enough.
