Medium, medium-minus colour. The nose is sweetly interesting, backed by a faint cedar note – gives the impression of a denser wine than reality, eventually a high toned alcoholic note develops. The palate has lovely fruit and slightly astringent tannin, but the acidity is rather tart. These negative aspects rather obscure a nice level of fat. I found this improving with aeration before slipping back as before.
Pale-medium yellow, some crystallised solids in the bottom of the bottle. A reticent nose with very faint smoky caramel – needs swirling to release citrus-infected fruit. The palate has width, depth and a burst of interest that follows the acidity. Seems a little more austere than about one year ago, but it’s infused with plenty of material
Medium, medium-plus colour – still young cherry-red. The nose is of creamy red cherry, perhaps a little soft and lactic. In the mouth it’s a fresh expression of black shaded fruit with a lovely creamy tinge to the medium-plus finish. Quite some personality here, fresh acidity and slightly grainy tannins – there’s a depth to the fruit that is not matched by intensity but I liked this anyway. Very nice with a pork joint.
