Tasting Notes

Minerally, discreet. There's a body of wine here and length on the finish but the wine misses a little depth and panache. Drink 2012-2020.

Decanter Magazine

Aromas of tar and berry, with hints of tobacco. Medium-to-full body, chewy tannins and a slightly short and austere finish.

James Suckling

This is lacking some vigour on the nose with faint hints of blackberry, raspberry and smoke. Moderate definition. The palate is better, some pure black cherry fruits, saturated tannins but lacking some finesse and delineation towards the finish. Better than I expected but a little overdone. Tasted April 2008.
