Blackberry, black olive and raspberry. blood and iron, violets and earth, dark chocolate with hints of mint and bay lea, soft old leather. Subtle grippy tannin. Complex and interesting wine. Long savoury finish. Great gear. Supreme value for money.

Ok. Tasted a little young and cheap which was a bit disappointing. Peppery aftertaste was bearable when eating, but the final glass after dinner wasn't very nice

Boring indeed. But has youthful colour and no sign of being past it. I will wait a few years before opening another. Nothing to lose apart from the opportunity cost of a cellaring space foregone. The 2006 cabernet is much better.

Great aroma but after that it was disappointing. A bit bitter and a bit watery. Still good wine, but not a great wine
