Tasting notes |
Ripe red berries dominate nose with clean, sweet spiced notes. Full and round in the mouth with surprisingly well rounded tannins for the age of the wine. Lots of berry flavour eager to release, which will happen with time. Good structure and fine balance.
ovely rich nose with a notes of biscuit and bread. Very firm acidity and strong mousse. Firm full bodied and impressive, typical of the vintage. |

Tasting notes |
There is a very attractive freshness in the first blush of youth. Really appetising aromas of blackberry, raspberry with tea leaves, sweet spice and herby notes. Slight minty touch with clean spicy oak backing. The mouth is well rounded and smooth with fine, well integrated tannins. Long flavours lead into equally long finish.

Fruit driven nose with grapefruit, melon, lemon and lees. Well rounded in the mouth with finesse, subtlety and fine balance. Deftly handled oak and delicious now yet with potential to develop with a couple of years.
