Apart from a little overabundance of oak, this is immensely enjoyable juice. Great acidity, and bold coffee and chocolate flavors. Fantastic value and goes great with food. Drinking beautifully now, but not in any danger of kicking the bucket any time soon.

Significantly better than the '99 vintage that I had recently. This was much less astringent with a complex long flavour. A fairly modern style, but nothing too overblown.

Holding very well at peak, nice balance and just simply enjoyable from start to finish. Should drink well for a good while.

Had this side by side with the 1999, and the 2000 showed far better. Much more lively fruit and acidity, this is delivering great value.

Geat depth of colr. Pleasnat aroma of strawberries and blue berry. Good nose. Taste was smooth, with very mild tannins. Smooth finish
