Fruit forward, well balanced wine. Cigar, plum, and dark cherry. Lingering tannins that aren't overwhelming.

Nice deep purple-red colour with delicate blueberry and pepper bouquet. Drinking this 2014 in 2016 and it is not too soon to be drinking it. A pleasant raspberry and blueberry flavour, with gentle mouthfeel. Relatively lightweight but worked well with our chicken dinner. A cold day / room so would be interesting to try it again in a warmer clime and with more time in bottle. Purchased from the Secret Cellar in Tunbridge Wells.

This wine had so much floral and berry freshness, but plenty of heft and earthiness to complement duck confit over a cabbage / caraway / quince salad at Verjus. Tannins and acid were balanced and not overwhelming--this was not too young to drink now.
