Very good colour given the vintage and variety; there is a range of fruit flavours from cherry to raspberry to plum, backed up by tannins and a dash of oak.

Deep-ish red, slight purple, raisiny, squashed-antsy, somewhat overripe aromas. Sweet, deliciously ripe flavours, soft and supple, rounded and balanced, with an almost pinotysuperripe sweet black-cherry fruit character. Lovely wine, soft and fleshy and fruit-sweet. Silken texture. Drink:2013-2023
