A little Zin and smoked pork tenderloin, what could be bad! Right off the glass I get this big jammy grape nose as in Welches grape jam. Succulent and sweet. Front of the palate reveals molasses and smoke. Dry tannins as in completely dry. Asian spice, touch of bay leaf and cinnamon. Finish is taunt and strong which brings the wine to the finish. Well done.

Muted in some ways, port-like in others. Still fairly tannic.

Very disjointed. Prune, port-like, boozy. Off bottle?

Still young with a clear tannic presence but ripe dark fruits make it accessible. Appealing cocoa notes.

Deep purple in the glass. Nose is expressive with smoked meats, leather and a little eucalyptus. Rich dose of cassis/framboise on the palate. Tannins are there but don’t overpower the fruit. Not hyper extracted - just dense and chewy. Finish is long with a hint of salinity. Outstanding. More powerful style than Turley but balance is still there.
