Medium-plus colour, more ruby than cherry-red. The nose is deep, slightly peppery and is ringed with sweet (as opposed to toasty) oak. Good balance, very good acidity, drying but not rustic tannin and a finish that is, like the nose, ringed with sweet oak influence and creamy notes. Plenty of concentration, a very good value wine.
Medium, medium-plus colour. The nose has black fruit, a little oak and faint gamey notes. A step up in concentration though well short of the best examples. Nicely intense black fruit and good length. Really need another 4-5 years to integrate all the parts – not least the oak. Very nice, if a second division GE.
