Some complexity, incense and wood nose with creamy dark fruit. The palate is smooth and sweet-fruited. Well-measured grainy ripe round tannins. This youthful, concentrated wine doesn?t really relate well to the steak and mayonnaise but the wine itself is good.

Lifted aromas of sweet raspberry and blackberry on the bouquet . Sweet juicy fruit with good freshness, but slightly one dimensional, finishing a touch short. When paired with the flank-steak the wine appeared more sweet-fruited and supple. A well-made but very simple wine, lacking in complexity.

Fresh, vibrant nose. Very fruit driven and fresh in style. Sweet fruited and vibrant on the palate. A moderate to good match wither dish.

Deeply coloured, lifted floral fruits, spice and vanilla bean aromas. The palate is juicy and structured with obvious oak influence. The pairing sort of worked. The blue fruits being promoted. The sweet oak buffering the brioche ? the combination appears a little too sweet and clumsy.

Rich and juicy, pepper and spice, lovely crunchy acidity, plush, food gives the wine far more generosity on the palate

Opaque magenta. Intense plum aromas with toasty oak and some hints of menthol. Rich and ripe dark fruits, liquorice and earth. Lots of dark fruit on the palate with rounded sandy tannin with a slightly sweet, liquorice finish. The wine and food bring out the best in each other.

Youthful colour. Jube and DMS suggestive of higher cropped SHI. Touch of pepper greenness also competes with the red fruit Jube. Sweet fruit, acid driven dilute palate. WF ? jube and DMS dominate. Nothing complex or funky here. One dimensional.
