A hint of reduction on the nose. Full interesting and mouth-filling. Lovely texture and flavours borne on the acidity. A super burst of mid-palate flavour with hints of licorice. Very good wine.

Understated, hints of warm spice dovetail fresh red fruit. Very silky in the mouth, intense flavour plus a late arriving acidity that leaves your mouth watering. Little here suggests the vintage.

A deep, soft and sweet nose with just a hint of spice. The palate is a little linear, quite narrow with slightly tart acidity and benign tannin. There is reasonable length here, overall this is an interesting if rather slight wine.

Much darker colour. The nose is wide with a more herbal aspect. More concentrated with quite some tannin, but it’s quite round. Good length though there’s a faint edge of bitterness. This is not bad for the vintage.

Good deep colour for a 2004. An interesting and concentrated nose; floral, earthy and herbal – some cedar on the nose which comes through on the palate too. This is nicely concentrated with very good acidity. The overall effect is a little tart but long-lasting in the finish
