Juicy, vibrant, balanced and good length. Tannins and acid in balance. Can’t imagine it getting any better but conversely don’t think it’s going downhill anytime soon. Drink next 3-4 (?) years.

Bright, jubey, confected cherry, raspberry Licourice, leather, some earthiness, dried herbs and white pepper. The florality is starting to wean. Good acidity. Drink now and don’t delay! Primary fruits flavours are starting to wear and I think this is a wine built to live fast and die young!

A bit tight at first but after a good whirl in the decanter it opened up nicely.
Raspberries, vanilla, milk chocolate & floral notes on the nose. The palate has similar flavors and some cherry too. Nice acidity, medium tannins and good length with quite a bit of tobacco on the back palate

A lovely southern Rhone style light to medium bodied with flavours of summer berries. Really a nice drinking wine.

Colour: dark cherry red
Nose: cherry, cherry liqueur, pomegranate, strawberry, raspberry, plum. Sweet, perfumed, potpourri, bergamot. Sweet spice, old oak. Fresh hay, dried grasses. Fresh, crisp.
Palate: cherry, cherry liqueur, pomegranate, raspberry, strawberry. Bergamot, potpourri. Sweet spice, old oak. Fresh, crisp, but perfumed. Fresh hay. Very lithe, lively berry-like acidity; moderate, very fine grained, somewhat structural tannins. Lovely, lots of crunchy fresh red berry fruit. Very drinkable. Medium bodied, 14% alcohol. Seal: screw cap.
