  The oak signature is very prominent- high quality and immediately appealing, but there’s no subtlety and it really overwhelms the pure and concentrated- but simple and direct black plummy fruit. Dark fruit and espresso notes on the palate, velvety texture with a little grain and grip to the tannins at this young age. Little range or complexity - it’s fruity, round and slightly sweet. Typical of the style but I just find it so uninteresting as to be pointless

  Tasted blind in a set of ‘One white and two reds from the same producer’. I can definitely say that I did not guess very well at all!! A deep purple coloured wine. The nose is quite restrained, there’s black fruits and a touch of vanilla - definitely some oak character in there. The black fruit character dominates the palate, there’s a nice balance of tannins and acidity. Good.
