For something with the Turley name and Old Vines designate I thought this would be bigger. At around $25 I guess it’s at the lower tier. Drinking fine now although it did have an odd spiciness that blew off after a bit.

Drinking very nice right now, a great cellar defender. White pepper, bell pepper, herbs on the nose, smoother on the palate, with a hint of oak, cocoa, cedar, cardamom, finely grained tannin finish, with the slightest hint of harshness from the alcohol that may dissipate with a bit more air.

This is drinking so beautifully now! One of our favorites just got better with more bottle aging. Superb bargain! Fruit and complexity of flavors are showing up now. Excellent mouthfeel and depth.

Rich purple hue, lightly fruity with bright red fruits, especially plum notes and a soft (non alcohol) nose. Raspberry and chocolate hit first with a hint of minerals late to the game. Very soft edges, but with enough light tannins for mouthfeel leaning to almost acidic

Needs so time to open up. Very fine wine for the cost. Complex and tasty with very good mouthfeel and aftertaste.
