Oak and dark berries, blackberry and black currant. Rather rich, but not super balanced. However, surprisingly good – way over my expectations. Holds up well over a couple of nights.

Nose of red grapes, ink and a tad of black tea...pretty straight forward...no wood influence. Surprisingly dry and medium to full-bodied. Nice fruit flavours mixed with dark chocolate notes. Medium finish. Lacks complexity but enjoyable all the same. Drink from now to 2022.

Some unusual options selected by Douglas Blyde (Il Borro): Deep dark funky old barrels. Green pepper and blackcurrant leaf. Unmistakable cab sav. Big and black, tar, very dry finish, very tannic. Served with black olive tapenade - a great match, but I really didn't enjoy this wine.

Very light colour, not tipycally cabernet sauvignon (why should be for us?), sweet on the palate without any notes of a godd wine.
