  I really enjoyed this wine and drank it over a couple of nights - lovely colour and depth.

  I really enjoyed this wine and there’s no doubt that 20 months of ageing after purchase served its purpose.

  Decent. Interesting blend of red and black fruit, spice, oak, fairly grippy drying tannins.

  Beautiful dark purple, nose and palate dominated by cassis, chocolate, coffee, good structure, soft tannins, finish is lingering with a gentle bite, center of tongue. Easy to drink

  Methylated spirits/alcohol/oak /varnish on the nose .
  
  I sat this for a couple of hours in a carafe to see if the alcohol would dissipate but no , it was still there.
  
  Medium to heavy bodied of dark colour.
  
  Light to medium tannins, slightly acid to the front, and some grip at the front and the middle.
  
  Light mix of fruit and spices .
  
  No chocolate for me and it made me wonder if someone can taste chocolate it must be the very worst of chocolate or a vivid and over-reactive imagination.
  
  A good wine of low yield vines on oak for 15 months.
  
  Not great but may improve in 6 months if only that alcohol will settle down.
