Blueberries covered in dark chocolate.
It is a bit short and thin but this makes it easier to enjoy more of!
Monday night quaffer.

Commercial type red showing little varietal Cabernet characteristics. Very ripe with grippy tannins. Nothing to write home about.

2012: takes things to another level after the Parson's Nose. Allure, like the intoxicating scent of a new lover; fine grained - nigh chalky - tannin. Excellent 92

Fragrant blackberry, black currant, blackberry leaf, herb and cedar spice. Juicy, and fruit driven with a savoury thread. Drinking well now with plenty of potential to develop.

strong spicy and vanila taste, not enough complexity, high acidity, lack of balance, not my favorite, but a good value everyday wine.
