  Similar to previous note, no major changes, other than tannins and alcohol slightly more evident.
  Clear, medium garnet in colour.
  Clean nose, pronounced intensity aromas of cooked red fruit (cherry, plum), dried fruit (prune, date), oak (smoke, clove), tertiary (leather, earth). The wine is fully developed.
  The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, medium (+) tannins, fine, dusty, high alcohol, full body, medium (+) flavours similar to the nose, dried fruit and leather to the fore. Medium (+) finish, a little drying.
  The wine is very good quality. Good concentration of fruit, complexity from tertiary development, acid and tannins in balance with the fruit. Finish not long enough to be outstanding.
  Drink now (next 12 months), not suitable for further ageing. The primary fruit has gone and the wine is fully developed. It will start to fade but it is still drinking beautifully.

  This wine is at its peak. Both bright and dried fruit on the nose, well integrated tannins, long spicy finish. Drink now!!

  This is too dark to really be called a Rose? Light cherry on the nose and palate. Soft tannins. Drinking well.
