Tasting notes
Mid ruby. Lightly smoky dark fruit. Both savoury and juicy on the palate. Firm but rounded tannins. Smooth and quite rich. (JH)

Greyish crimson. Very little nose. Lightly fizzy. Easy, not one of the most ambitious. Perfectly ok but as though it were picked a little early. (JR)
Toasty oak at first, then fresh citrus follows. Dense, tangy, dry and finely spiced. Pure, minerally, tight and long. Very fresh, highly strung. (JH)
While soft, tasty, and delicious, this wine is not very concentrated. It should drink nicely for 3-4 years.
