Tight and very young still, yet with great potential. Loaded with tart blackberries, cherries, roasted herbs and minerals, finishing dry and structured.

WOW what a wine. Black fruit peppery gets better after a few minutes. Soft tannins and moderately long finish. This wine calls out for a steak.

Definitely a finer wine. Soft berry tones, but very subtle on the palate. A very smooth taste with no tannins.

Brambly, peppery, with a surprising undertone of lavender. Practically cries out for barbecue.
