Dark-colored wine with a firm structure from ripe fruit. It is solid, dense and showing considerable richness. An explosion of ripe fruit goes with the tannins. Worth aging for 3–4 years.

Strong aromas of new wood are confirmed by the palate, where wood flavors dominate. This is a structured wine, showing fruit acidity under the wood and sufficient weight of red berry fruits to come through in another six months.

Finely dense wine, its tannins floating in the ripe black currant and plum fruits, leavened by roasted coffee. It is well structured, with plenty of acidity and juiciness as a contrast, leaving a mouthwatering aftertaste.

A Cab-dominated wine that reveals attractive, juicy black fruits, balanced with fresh acidity. There are tannins, but the fruitiness is what this is all about. Drinkable now.

A wood-dominated wine, all the dryness coming from barrels rather than fruit. Will it broaden out? It’s hard to find the fruit at the moment, but there is weight under the wood, so perhaps.

A fresh, but dry wine, with stalky black fruits and acidity. Light and crisp, this is a pleasant fruity mouthful that demands hearty winter dishes as an accompaniment. Imported by Milgrom.
