Bn edge. Lacks punch, toasty, nutty oak. Cherry cheer, donut, hard edge, gritty tannins. Food : doesn?t work at all ? brings the tannins to the fore.

A fine cabernet just starting to add savoury notes to its youthful black fruit and hint of mint that seems younger and richer with food.

Deep garnet. Earthy, mint-chocolate. Mid-weight, firm dry tannins and fresh acid finish. Food: quite good with the mole in the dish.

Slight green cane characters on the nose through to the palate. Firm chewy tannins with a slightly gamey leathery finish. An excellent match as the beef ribs dish makes this wine come alive. The fruit and tannin structure give the wine great length.

Deep dark red. Peppery, pencil graphite, cassis nose. Full, dry, soft juicy tannins, pencil graphite, red pepper, juicy mid-palate weight and concentration. Dry ripe finish. Long. Relatively neutral mutually between both wine and food.

Really attractive dusty aromas with black fruits and tobacco leaf. Complex palate with those same primary fruits complexed with tobacco and restrained oak influences it has a fine grained tannic finish which works exceptionally with food.
