on opening it had a delicate nose dominated by strawberry and a really big and expansive palate. great structure, it's a fruity wine, strawberry, blackberry, cherry. after a couple of hours in the bottle it gives more to the nose. there is a little tertiary character. lovely licquorice smothering those strong fruits. great tannins, velvet smooth.

Surprisingly mean, narrow palate: unripe tannins. 88P

Big hitter - loads of cassis fruit and ripe blackberries - perfect with cheddar

First rate generous ripe fruit and terrific ripe tannins, almost like a muted Australian Shiraz. 90P
