Rich, wood-aged wine, smooth and ripely fruity. Aromas of mint lead to the polished, ripe, elegant fruit, the tannins surrounded by a comfortable fruit texture. It will age over 4–5 years.

Densely tannic while also fruity, this is a product of ripe fruits that give a black currant flavor as well as a solid structure. The acidity gives great lift to the end of this finely made wine.

A big, ripe and juicy wine packed with black fruit notes and laced with acidity. The tannins offer a contrast to the fruitiness, bringing balance and structure. This is an impressive wine, the smoky aftertaste bringing out the wood aging.

Very structured wine that shows its wood aging as well as textured black plum fruits. It has spice, toast and a smoky character. Underneath are blackberry fruits and a strong layer of acidity. Age for 3–4 years.

Elegant, rich and fruity, with just the right amount of tannic structure. The wine has black currant, sweet acidity and a dense and concentrated texture. While it is rich, it also has a good long, elegant aftertaste.

Ripe, fruity, full flavored wine. It shows its wood aging in the toasty character that lies over the herbaceous fruit. Rounded, smooth with a burst of citrus. Drink next year, but also age.

While this wine has the richness and warmth of its vintage, it also has a fine, dusty, tannic structure, which gives it a serious aspect. Ripe black-plum and berry flavors provide a generous feel, while the crisp acidity offsets the ripeness.

A eucalyptus oil aroma offers a smooth and fragrant introduction to this ripe, rich and juicy wine. Its polished feel works, offering both richness and solid tannins. It’s for aging over at least five years.
