Popped and poured for dinner. Very dark in the glass. Wonderful nose of berries, fruit, frangipani flower. Similarly on taste, fruity with cherries, strawberry and hint of tar. Oak is evident with mild tannins. Excellent mouthfeel.

Pop and pour. On first opening, this had a very funky, grape juice flavour - not appealing. As it took in some air, it developed some wonderful flavours and aromas. Cherries, plums and violets on the nose. Lots of depth and breadth on the palate. Paired very well with duck breast. Excellent, and a steal at $25.

Ribena and port. No structure. Flawed.

Lovely. Lots of red fruit, has some depth to it. Will be better in a couple of years.

Restrained nose, but very rich on the palate with some heat. A bit rustic but very enjoyable for the price. Plan to get more.
