Ripe red fruit, subtle leather and sandalwood tones. Earthy. — a month ago
Medium garnet , wide light garnet rim. Touch volatile at first , high toned summer fruits , but with more time this becomes more focused with porcini, cedar , aromatic black tea , orange rind . On the palate this is really still very fruit driven , with lots of summer fruits , strawberry , blackberry , spiced dark cherries, beef extract , liquorice and dried rose . Balanced acidity and still quite present gritty tannin . This is still showing quite young and fruit driven , enjoyable and really good now , will no doubt have a long life ahead , from now and over the next 10 - 15 years . — 3 months ago
2007 vintage drinking very well - was almost ready out of the bottle but improved with a few hours in the decanter. Wonderful red fruit on the palate with strawberries, raspberries and red cherries. Alcohol was slightly perceptible. This is in a good place and seems unlikely to improve much, but nowhere near a state of decline. Fruit is still quite primary with nice acidity — 4 months ago

Medium ruby , quite wide ruby garnet rim . Really red fruited , aromatic and still quite primary . Slightly spiced red cherry , strawberry , raspberry . On the palate this has sweet red fruits , quite polished tannin and fresh acidity. Spiced cherry , rose water tinged finish of good length . Quite sweetly fruited . This is quite user friendly in some ways , without the apparent structure I was expecting . Overall it’s a enjoyable wine, but perhaps a little simplistic at the moment , maybe more will come with time ? So from now and over the next 10 -15 years perhaps ? — 5 days ago
