  Regrettably I have opened my last bottle, probably 5-8 years too early. While this is drinking really well now, at 12 years of age, it is still very youthful and shows promise of further development. It is a very dark red right through to the edges, no bricking. The bouquet is all about the fruit, blackberries and cherries with some background wood. The palette is a balance of blackberries, cherries, licorice, a hint of tobacco. No lemon zing but subtle acid, slight furry tannins and delicious mouth feel that lingers and lingers. 93

  Surprisingly good, rich dark fruit and soft tannins. Probably a few years left, but drinking pretty well

  Powerfull and concentrated flavours, and tannins to support. seems like it may not have reached its peak yet

  Nice dark colour. Red fruit aromas hit you when you pour the first glass. Nice tannin perhaps a bit over powering the fruit. Smooth wine, medium to full body with a long finish. Enjoyable wine.
