Berry fruits and dense red jelly flavors are the hallmark of this wine. It is full, although edging on stalky, its black berry flavors mixed with acidity and dry tannins.

With its strong wood aromas, this is a wine that seems to have spent too much time in barrel. The weight of black fruits does give it a chance to balance out. Keep for 2–3 years.

This wine’s smooth texture is soft, velvety, needing tannins to give it a sense of shape. As it tastes in the mouth now, it shows pleasant sweet berry flavors and a dense mouthfeel. In the end, it is an easy-drinking, early maturing wine.

There is plenty of ripe fruit here, the richness of 2005 evident. The flavors are of ripe blackberry jam, red plums and a strong structure of sweet tannins. There is a fresh, acidity-driven juicy lift on the finish.

This soft, wood- and blackberry-flavored wine shows spice alongside acidity. It has an edge of astringency and green herbs, but the vanilla from the wood does give it some weight and balance.

This structured wine has ripe black fruits followed by red berries. There is a good depth of flavor, the tannins giving the bright fruit weight and a mouthfilling character.
