* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A powerful, almost severe wine, with a strong core of dry tannins over the black fruits. There are hints of red cherry and spice from wood. The main structure dominates, and will need several years to round out.

Initially, the red fruits dominate, exploding in the mouth. Then the tannins take over, giving a wine that is hugely structured and powerful. The fruits, though, are as impressive as the tannins, the combination giving a wine that is both juicy and smoky, finished with new wood.

Showy, spicy, with fresh fruits and lightness. This is a wine more about red cherries, bright acidity and a smooth texture. The tannins form a strong core, never weighty. Not for long-term aging.

A wine with a very ripe, wild strawberry character, meaty and savage. The fruits are just moving out from behind the structure, the maturity not yet coming in. An impressive wine, hinting at power.

Very soft, very ripe and generous, the tannins showing but surrounded by fruit flavors that are now morphing into more herbal, tarry, mushroom flavors. The final spice character gives a great complementary burst of taste.

Ripe, generous, powerful and opulent, the wine combines blackberry juice character with mature spice and mushroom flavors. This is a massive wine, with a gorgeous velvet texture, only a taut core of tannins. Despite moving towards a mature phase, it has many years ahead.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Soft and ripe, with a sprinkling of pepper and spice, this is a rich, gentle wine. The tannins are open, lying under the lively black and red berry fruits. It will age over the next few years, but is not for the long-term.
