Reflects the overall style of the vintage, featuring crisp rather than lush fruit and fresh perfumes rather than baked aromas. Cherry takes center stage, supported by ripe tannins. A solid effort.

A lifted, slightly volatile note on the nose, then plenty of spice and prune aromas. this is a big, velvety-textured wine that's also a bit ponderous. Packs in heavyweight power, but lacks a little finesse.

Lifted and slightly volatile on the nose, but there’s also plenty of baked black cherry and plum fruit. A high proportion of Mourvèdre gives a tannic grip to this wine and a hint of tar as well.
