...well balanced. Ripe strawberries and red cherries are shot through with the acidity of the vintage. The tannins are present, complementing the already attractive fruits.
There's plenty of fruit here, along with a dense and tight structure. Sour cherry, currant, spice and earthy, leafy elements play out on the long, grippy finish.
...melds together with aeration, offering pretty dark plum and raspberry scents, later pressed flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip and structure, a little rough round the edges but well balanced, although the finish just needs more flesh and body since it seems to attenuate, ossify a little, and it leaves you wanting more.
Subdued, slightly medicinal scents of cherry, raspberry, licorice, black pepper and wild herbs, complicated by spices and a hint of leather... Finishes with slightly dry-edged, firm tannins and lingering spiciness.
Dark-fruited and slightly smoky on the nose. Touch of wood spice. Firm, savoury and really moreish on the palate...there’s depth and a good balance between subtle tannin framework and dark fruit...fresh finish.
