Lovely primary black fruit aromas as well as perfumed, white pepper, violets and strong vanilla spices from the American oak. On the palate it is fairly restrained, medium bodied with gentle red fruits and herbs. The wine has a slightly tannic finish. Been in bottle for 1 month, so needs more time to fill out. Great value for money.

Ratings Key:
Outstanding (Score range 95-100)
Often an internationally recognised, leading brand or winery – but not always! Produces a classic wine that is a faultless representation of the style/variety. Complexity on the nose and a seamless palate are an example of the hallmarks of an outstanding wine.
Highly Recommended (Score range 92-94)
A quality focused wine that has plenty of style. Length of palate and intensity are often key characteristics of highly recommended wines. These producers could be the ones to watch in the future.
Recommended (Score range 89-91)
An above average well-made, reflection of the style/variety, which often represents good value for money.
