Vibrant & dense. Savoury, rich, nutty & toasty, black berry/cherry. Similar to nose, has fruit weight, cherry, gritty but quite soft tannins. Food : brought out the medium body more, lengthened the flavour, moreish.

Dusty oak mingles with leathery savoury notes on the nose and still some firm tannin despite its age and it improves with food, seeming younger and richer.

Deep plum, mauve rim. Woodsy, earthy aromas and liquorice/plum jam aromas. Quite full, densely structured palate. Slightly oily flavours. Supple tannins, dry finish. Food: wine is too dense and oily for this dish.

A lovely rich liquorice nose and palate. Ripe fruit tannins with lovely balanced oak. Showing some age with hints of leather and chocolate coming through on the finish. Well matched with the flank dish as the wine carries more flavour and sweet berry fruit.

Opaque dark red. Concentrated intense dark berries, freshly ground black pepper, violets, creamy oak on the nose. Full, dry, tannic, firm juicy dark fruit, black pepper, oaky creaminess. Dry creamy, dark berries, spice finish. Long, slightly warm tail. Pairing slightly accentuated tannins, but the dark floral and berry character was also heightened. Wine brought a creaminess to the flavour of the beef.

Incredible deep crimson purple colour. Super ripe aromas of plum pudding and stewed plums complexed with assertive oak influences. Very rich palate with coffee and mocca notes and those rich underlying fruit flavours. Exceptionally long and complex with enough primary fruit for the supporting oak. A wine of great complexity that pairs well with food.
