Transparent and rusty and lots of life and alcohol – not fine or concentrated but good stuff. Lots of tannin. Treacle. (JR)

Intensely sweet rich damson fruit on the nose. Blueberry pie. Same on the palate – soft and deep pile richness of dark fruit. A wine to sink into. Alcohol well hidden. Smooth dark chocolate finish.  (JH)

Good deep ruby. Perfumed, floral aromas of dark chocolate, prune, vanillin oak and game. Medium-sweet and moderately dense, with nicely delineated but somewhat baked flavors. Slightly spirity finish features good sweet fruit.
