  Beautiful Nose of cut red flowers and red and black currants and spice. Medoum-full bodied this is light on its feet and easy to drink. The palate has black currants, loam, dark chocolate and coffee bean. Just becoming mature, this may improve with another year or two but it delicous now and will drink well until it’s 15th birthday and beyond. 91

  Wonderful wine. Same notes as before, except maybe a bit more fullness to the flavours.

  I had it with “chicken with mole” (pollo con mole - MEX food); the flavour of spices such as clove and chocolate were notable.
  Balance, easy to drink

  Red with slight granite.
  Aromas show florals, dark berries, vanilla and spices, and a slight greenness/herbal tone.
  Medium bodied, medium tannins, medium acidity. Still some firmness to the wine, and some initial tanginess which flows to blackberry/blackcherry, cassis. dusty tannins. On the finish I am getting some spiced vanilla, pyrazines, and some drying black tea.
  A very nice subtle (not in your face) wine. Bit of roundness overall. I could go with a 91-92.

  Needs a 2 hour decant. Somewhat disappointing for the price. Muted dark fruit - black cherry. Earth and a bit of black pepoer. Short finish.
