Deep black cherry, licorice root, slate. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre blend is pleasing in every way. Really gamey with some crème de menthe in the nose.

More mature fruits but more astringent and drying.

2013, quite a surprise! Lots of cherries, charm, concentration. A real treat, promising too

A good bottle for me and Raj to share - both had a fruit heavy in a CDR way, but balanced out to be quite heavy and savoury/spiced. Heavy tannins but balanced enough for Raj. Delicious

Bright cherries, plenty of leathery notes. Also a little dusty. But the cherries and plums shine through the secondaries strongly and make this a great value wine.
