Attractive tea aromas, subtle cassis. But then a bit dry and drying on the palate. Not enough fruit depth to balance the structure. (JH)

Curiously herbal note – wild garlic? – on the nose. Quite aggressively bold and lively. Lots of acidity and fruit too with quite ripe tannins. Just that strange nose and a certain jaggedness prevents a higher mark. (JR)
