“Aromas of spicy red cherries on a loamy underlay, together with savory twists of forest floor and walnut shell. Some orange rind, too. Full-bodied with very fine, firm and silky tannins and lots of long, focused fruit and spice flavor. Good structure for 2018. Needs a year or two to fully knit together. Best from 2024.”

“Complex on the nose, offering a blend of ripe red berries, nutty minerals, orange-peel and spice. Some savory, almost meaty notes, too. Full, compact and intense, yet there’s a graceful feel to the palate, thanks to the really fine web of tannin. Super polish and promise here. Classy. Needs some time. Try from 2025.”

“Just mid ruby. Perfumed cherry fruit laced with subtle oak and a hint of cumin. Fresh, supple cherry fruit with a savoury edge and firm but ripe and crunchy tannins. Great length and juiciness.”

“ Medium dark red showing amber on the edge with a profusely aromatic nose of citrus and dates and an elegant, creamy palate with woodsy, herbal notes and flavors that evoke spiced English Christmas cake with dried red cherries.. Lovely, long finish.  Lovely, long, long finish.  Only 80 cases made annually. The perfect after dinner drink; best consumed neat.”

“A powerful style, this red evokes plum, fruitcake, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors, delivering big fruit and tannins that will require a few years to integrate. Notes of eucalyptus and wild herbs add depth to the finish. Best from 2025 through 2046.”
