This is complex and powerful, offering notes of ripe but vivid black and blue fruit, crushed violets, coffee liqueur, wet stones and earth. Full-bodied and concentrated with firm tannins and walnuty character. Its not overly sweet and very lively on the palate, showing delicious fruit within the darker spectrum

This shows notes of walnuts and hazelnut shells, combined with blueberries, mulberries and plums, as well as floral notes and hints of graphite and spices. Full-bodied but not heavy. Firm but with a smoother, rather more delicate approach, showing fine tannins that are compact and potent. Lots of vivid fruit, together with some blue flowers and crushed stones. Very attractive with a long, linear finish

Lovely, with a mix of persimmon, white peach, hazelnut, green tea and singed alder notes all moving together in streamlined harmony. The long, elegant finish has nice latent energy.

Shows a nice core of dark currant and fig fruit that’s been steeped with anise, alder and bittersweet cocoa. Give this a little time in a decanter or cellar for another couple of winters. Possesses the stuffing to cover slow sipping over a weekend.
