Lighter than I thought but I see it’s a high altitude vineyard. Very nice kind kind of lunchtime claret style but I can’t say I love it, particularly for £20

Stunning Friday night steak wine - 2008 drinking really well with good balance of fruit from Merlot and the tannin and earthiness from the Franc

Still tasted young. A few more years needed.

Ultra elegant, subtle red fruits and once again showing why a Bordeaux style works in the Central Ranges.

Nice easy drinking, could do with some more depth to it. No tannins
