Purple colour. Cedar, spice and some red fruit on nose. Similar on palette. Medium body, good acidity and balance. Not hugely complex but easy drinking and good value.

Nice filth and gunk on the nose with some vanilla creaminess kept in check by spiciness and black pepper; interesting aromatics up front. Unfortunately the palate is less evolved, relying on a torrent of candied red fruits and slightly icky oak that I'm not too comfortable with. Nice medium-bodied mouthfeel, good acidity and confident, settled tannins on the finish are all positives, but this is still flawed. Can't complain too much at this price though!

Slightly musty nose (in a good way) with red currant and blackberries. Burnt plum on the palate with honeyand some spice. Lovely long finish with spicy notes.
