Baggy, spice spike, ripe, slight dead fruit. Dead fruit, quite extracted, donut, gritty tannins, hot & hard. Food : doesn?t work at all, detracting from the wine.

Packed with bramble fruit and some tannins too that?s a little softer with the food match.

Deep cherry-plum. Cedary, meaty, slightly tarry. Sweet oily fruit flavours, fleshy texture, firm tannins. Food: sweet oily fruit characters remain.

Rich ripe fruit on the nose and palate. Fruit sweetness and big tannins come through. A hint of lifted clove characters finishes the flavour. A great match as the sweetness of both the wine and the beef ribs work very well together.

Deep dark red. Creamy, oaky dark red berries, concentrated slightly oily floral nose. Full, dry, ripe, tannic, concentrated creamy juicy finely textured tannins spicy juicy mid palate persistence and fruit. Dry ripe finish. Long. Pairing brought out the complexity of the wine and lifted the flavours of the meat.

Extremely rich chocolate and mock aromas on the nose which support strong primary fruit characters. The palate is super ripe and super rich with coffee/mocca and plum pudding flavours. The finish is long and mouth filling.
