“Dull colour. Green stalky, some sappiness, cherry. Stalky, cherry, donut, very hard tannins. Food : hasn?t covered up the hard tannins, pronounced the acidity even more.”

“Distinctive whole bunch fermentation notes add interesting aromas to a juicy palate with a little bite of tannin that goes from good to great with the food, seemingly more succulent and longer.”

“Bright mid-ruby. Rich, complex red fruits, forest-floor, cedar and mocha. Rich and supple palate, fleshy fruit, moderate acidity, good length, finely structured finish. Food: Quite good match although the cedary elements in the wine are less well complemented by the subtle gamy elements in the venison.”

“Lifted fruit. Tight fruit tannins. Medium concentration ripe berry fruit on the finish of the palate. Dominates this wine. Just not enough fruit.”

“Smoky, slightly herbaceous redfruit on nose. Med-full, dry, med-acid, dry tannins.. Dry slightly lean finish.”

“Medium brick red colour.Lifted primary fruit aromas complexed with some stalky complexity on the nose. Palate shows a lovely savoury character with firm tannins and exceptional length of flavour but with enough primary fruit to give balance. Food accentuated those bright fruit notes in the wine.”
