“Dull colour. Stewed black fruits, savoury, spice spike. Lacks balance, chunky with hard tannins. Food : makes the acid/tannin more pronounced, slight bitterness.”

“Sybaritic scents spring from the glass and backed up by a palate with supple tannins and good length that seems a little rich and longer with the food.”

“Bright deep ruby. Complex woodsy, earth and sweet-leather aromas. Bright red-fruit flavours, chocolate and orange-peel overtones; solid core of fruit, fresh acid and fine structural tannins. Food: Good combination. Solid fruit core matches the meat and sauce very well.”

“Ripe berry fruit with great length. Lovely spiciness with bright balanced tannins. A good match as tannins stay obvious and sweetness of gravy come through.”

“Restrained bouquet ? dark berries, slightly floral. Med-full, dry, redfruit, spicy fresh acidity.Dry redberries finish. A touch warm.”

“Complex savoury style there are aromas of black cherry and a hint of talkiness. The palate is similarly savoury with some bright primary fruit but a long tannic backbone which provides length that pairs well with proteinaceous food. With food the primary fruit notes were accentuated and the tannins less obtrusive.”
