Medium ruby colour bricking towards the edge. Unusual nose – almondy. After the above this is so much thicker, smoother and red fruitier with a hint of spice. Acidity is good and the tannins completely softened. Very yummy. Actually if I’d read before Clive Coates review in his ten years on, I wouldn’t have bought this one, but while the nose sounds similar, they rest is not recognisable. From me 18, from Clive only 14

Medium/full ruby colour. Nose is incisive red berries at the top end with faint plum lower down. Palate is quite fat with a surprising amount of tannin, though quite smooth. When last tasted 18 months ago I thought the acidity a little over the top – now less so. Deeply extracted red cherries on the tongue and quite long too. Still a baby. Excellent villages.
