Black fruit aromas, some vanilla and oak, smootb moith feel and tannins. Very consistent year in year out. Good every day wine. First tried this wine in the late 70s. Not a long keeper but in my view seems to benefit from a few years bottle age (3 to 6). I always try to get hold of cellar releases when possible saving space and cellaring time for wine that redely available.

Licorice and cherries on the nose with a hint of pepper. Raspberries, strawberries and plums on the palate. Smooth and easy drinking. Found it too sweet with my steak.

A gift from a former colleague and drank it tonight at home with my brother-in-law over dinner.
Dark purple in colour with notes of violets, ripe plums and young raspberries. Intense with vibrant young, rich crimson fruits. Strong on the attack with some wild mushrooms. Finish is sweet with wild berries.
Simple, easy and straightforward. Has no complexity or depth. Nothing much to like about this wine, but it does what it does effectively: a good complement to the food and entertain the guests.

Surprising I actually enjoyed this (for a quaffer) - not sure I am going to ever admit it in public (or privately) though.
