Still pretty young looking thin light pink rim, ruby red colour . Very classic nose , showing development cedar , cigar box, coffee and some blackcurrant undertones. More cassis on the palate , tobacco and coffee also , quite angular tannin and slightly strict acidity . Reasonable length , and all considered a pretty good second wine from a pretty average vintage . Enjoyable now and the tannin perhaps will never resolve completely , I see little point in further cellaring , it is in a nice place . — a month ago

Quite reticent and backward .. needed some time to open up. Dark bramble fruits, earthy , mineral. Complex and kept changing in the glass. Lovely sweet black fruits and suave but noticeable tannins, good acidity . Very long in the mouth, very complete. It probably requires a touch longer in the cellar to open out a bit more but was very enjoyable. An excellent wine with a great future . — 3 months ago

Quite light crimson pink core wide light pink rim . On the palate nice red fruits, cherry , red plum and also ripe strawberry , a toasty note from the oak also apparent . Slight warmth of alcohol on the nose . On the palate more of the ripe red fruits , a spicy , toasty note also . Acidity is nicely balanced , refreshing. Long on the palate , well balanced finish , just perhaps showing that touch of warmth noted on the nose . As it changes in the glass a more wild almost meaty note appears. Nice now but will improve over 3 -5 years — a month ago

Deep ruby core and medium light ruby/pink rim. Quite rich and ripe on the nose , ripe plum , fig almost , floral also. Ripe plum , licorice notes , dark chocolate on the palate . Round and satisfying finish, sweet tannins , though the acidity is slightly disjointed , and the alcohol slightly spirity and noticeable. Still seems young though it will age ok I’m not sure if it will improve — 4 months ago

Ruby centre and a quite narrow rim just bordering on garnet. Large tears. Blackberry , blackcurrant, cocoa , coffee and spice . Very nice and inviting on the nose . In the mouth there is a round black fruit core , cocoa, tobacco and mineral notes . Large tannin , but fine and also ripe . Balancing acidity , long finish. Too young really though just about drinking, it is a user friendly wine , but will without a doubt improve over the long term . — a month ago

This is still quite deep in colour a light ruby , pink rim. Quite reserved on the nose , but with cassis , coffee , cool dark fruits, there is also a touch of spice. On the palate there is a nice balancing acidity , cool dark fruits , the tannins are fine and present but also ripe . The alcohol is quite warming however. But the finish is refined and reasonably long . Good to drink from now and over the next 5-7 years I would imagine. — a month ago
