Appearance: pale ruby. Nose: medium plus intensity; aromas of toast, cloves, red cherry, black pepper, mocha, vanilla, red roses, black tea. It’s developing. Palate: dry, high acidity, medium plus tannins, medium alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus flavour intensity, black tea, red date and subtle farmyard come through. The finish is medium plus. Overall it’s a very good wine. Can drink now, has potential for further ageing. Still quite young upon opening. Left it in the glass for 30min and the oak characters started to fade away and allow fruits to sing. Intense and bold. Great length.

Deep cherry/ruby hue. On the nose there's cranberries and red cherries, a nice minerality, all spice and cloves and some oak. Palate: medium bodied, good acidity and tannin. Great balance and length. A more refined style of NSG. Excellent.

See previous note. Still showing a lot of fruit. I think this will show better in a couple of years.
