The palate is soft and generous with the finish balanced and fine. The finish was wonderful. Round and balanced.

Nice plum and Damson pepper fruit. That real spicy pepper. This wine needs some time, not food. Cellar it for another 3 years and then have it with food.

Lifted fruit with black pepper and cherry characters. Vibrant, fleshy palate. Slightly crisp. Nice texture. Good tannins. Quite an elegant wine.

A style with spices and black fruit aromas. A very good palate with a savoury edge. Rich and pleasant. Would work better with a richer dish such as ox cheek casserole.
