  Light ruby with notes of blue flowers, earth, red cherry and dried strawberry with a touch of mineral, light spices, and charred toast.
  A fairly intense wine with a juicy mid-palate and plenty of fruit set against a chalky-edged acid and linear frame. A well-made, fairly concentrated example that is effortless drinking. The long finish closes with blue fruits, orange peel and red cherry pip.

  Savoury bouquet with strawberry confiture, tinned raspberries and frozen blueberries. Some evolution with cola tonic is evident; dried orange peel and spice accompany some mineral and crushed rocks.
  Medium-bodied, the entry is quite sweet and intense. Flavours have a little bit of damp cloth of reduction but veer to a red cherry compote, some herbs, liquorice and mineral. Some density to the mid-palate. A hint of evolution shows a cola tonic and some savoury notes. The tannins are firm and slightly sinewy, almost brawny with the wine rather belligerent and lacking a little elegance.

  Juicy and charming, much more so than the basic version. Kamfer and smoke is in the background, in the foreground the juicy fruit. Very nice indeed, could keep five years, I think.
