Nice rich colour and density, bit of earth on the nose as well as dark fruit. Good silky mouth feel with a bit of tannin left - went well with lab. That said, not particularly complex or thrilling, more a good well made steady drink.

Medium/deep ruby core, medium pale ruby rim - surprisingly deep and youthful. Nose muted at first, coming round to show red cherry fruit, hints of farmyard and earth. Quite full on the palate, some quite rich, very savoury red cherry fruit, notes of farmyard and earth, with prominent firm, even harsh tannins, very good, vibrant acidity and a medium/good length finish. Nice enough wine, with decent fruit and lovely acidity, but the unripe tannins do detract somewhat.

Meaty, savoury but generally hard going. Austere, but I suspect this may not have been showing well.
