Friday at the strand (Strand Cellars, Croydon): Rich, ripe blackberry, plum, chocolate, vanilla. Rich, juicy acidity, reasonably well balanced, alcohol warmth helps carry the fruit which proves dark hued. Long, tannins are silky and persistent. Old school and lovely.

Rich dark plum. Volcanic. Thick with florals. Smooth with crimson roses. As great as it is right now, there is still good long term potential. Beautiful and delicate wine. Very enjoyable.

Oh boy, this is so good. Smooth, still full of berry fruit. Dark ruby and such a long finish
