"Dark, shiny red robe; the nose has an aroma of “high” black fruits, beef stock, black fruit jam. It’s robust, conveys a real country wine. The palate shows some reduction, so needs decanting. It holds full, black-fruited content which takes off suddenly into an assertive finish, a full dose on the close, spice there. It’s not yet as one, but is wholesome, genuine, traditional."
