A very pleasant wine. Dark plum fruit on the nose with hints of blackberry and currant and oak. This wine is not terribly complex on the palette, but does offer a nice balance of plum and blackberry with pepper and spice. Overall, a nice everyday wine.

Mid ruby in appearance. Very deep, very powerful dark plummy fruit on the nose, laced with tobacco, but also a rather young green note. Ripe, round fruit on the attack, then the wine deepens and widens enormously. Lovely balance. A really wide, expansive palate, with lots of texture and character. Spice and black pepper on the finish. Excellent. 14% abv.

Intense blackberry, bitter chocolate and menthol nose. Full, silky and lush palate; smoky, tarry finish.
