Medium, medium-plus colour. Sweet, ripe red fruit – almost confiture – not so wide but very lovely depth. Wow – very impressive complextity – explosions of taste on the palate, real concentration followed by a slowly tailing-off diminuendo finish. This might not be the smoothest, most romantic wine in the world but it will nock you off your feet with real personality. Bravo!

Medium ruby red with a slightly amber rim. Very nice, if relatively advanced aromatics, a core of sweet baked red fruit, hints of camphor and cedar. The palate is sweet, shows forward acidity and grainy but not astringent tannins. The finish lasts but somehow seems a little ‘thin’. It’s a reasonable burst of interest on the mid-palate too. Pretty-much mature and very drinkable, if not the most elegant glass.
