Blackberry pie with slightly chewy tannins. Mouth coating with smooth finish. This is a winner. TBL

Juicy black cherries and dried herbs on the nose. On the palate there are black cherries, toast, smoke, peppers flavors. Quite tannic. Will reassess after the second glass...

Excellent Cabernet Franc from Saumur. High toned with great cherry and green pepper. Not too green, some great minerality and good acid keeps this nice.

Dark and extracted with loads of smooth tannins. Good acidity. Black olive tapenade and understated cherry.

Bramble, wild raspberry, mushroom, pencil lead, turned earth, tobacco leaf, green peppercorn, clove, Ceylon cinnamon, parsley, smoke. Balanced across the board from structure to aroma/flavor. These are always so pretty and mineral with purity of fruit. Much more focused and complex than the village bottling
