Great colour - dark deep purple ruby red despite it's age. Bold nose of berry fruits, black currant and some floral notes. Full bodied palate of plum and berry fruit, with good acidity and earthy flavours and chewy tannins that linger. Enjoyed this wine very much with lamb after decanting for 1 hour. I have a few more bottles that I expect will be as enjoyable or even better over the next 3+ years.

Absolutely beautiful. Full of plum, cherry, slight dark vanilla and savoury qualities. Will be even better in 4+ years. Accessible now, but still quite tight.

Big, bold, delicious. Well integrated but still punching nicely. Hold or drink now.
