  Clear, dark purple with burgundy coloured rim, beautiful equidistant fast-moving tears
  Clean, med+ intensity, with aromas of blasts of blackcurrant, black pepper, cooked plums, and hints of beef jerky, espresso and hot tomato leaf.
  Dry, med body, med tannins, med- acidity, med alcohol, and further tastes of blackberries, fennel, stewed tomatoes, and kalamata olives. Still drinking beautifully and a lovely finish. One of the most underpriced stars of the Cabernet world.

  Dark cherries, plums, figues. Interesting nose with a touch of alcool that shows heat in the vintage.
  
  Better after an hour in the decanter.

  Clear, blackish purple with dark pink rim, widely dispersed even-flowing tears medium thickness. Plenty of fine sediment from the first glass onwards - don't look in the mirror!.
  Clean, med- intensity, aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, slight anise, overwhelming fruit and alcohol.
  Dry, med+ body, need acidity, full tannins, full alcohol, this is a fruit-forward wine masked by bouts of alcohol, tannins and surprising acidity. Normally a hug fan of D'Arenberg wines, this was a little disappointing. Further tastes of pu'er tea, black pepper, beetroot, meaty, and dark black currants. Medium finish

  Clear, dark purple with maroon rim, many thick and fast tears.
  Clean, med + intensity, aromas of blueberries, blackcurrants, leather, dark cherries.
  Dry, med body, almost med acidity, lush tannins, ned alcohol, further tastes of violets, aniis seeds, stewed pork and cinnamon raisins. It has a finish but not the complexity I was hoping for.
