Palish medium red. Zesty aromas of small red berries and curry powder. Juicy and penetrating in the mouth, conveying a wonderfully light touch to the delicate, detailed flavors of red raspberry, orange zest and exotic spices. Very 2013 in structure: noble more than powerful, but with no shortage of underlying density. Penetrating, energetic wine with real class. The suave tannins spread out to dust the palate on the long back end.

Scented, sweet and rich. Super charming. An undertow of chestnut but really very refined and energetic. Quite racy really with a hint of spearmint. (JR)

More sweet-fruited and toasty than the village wine, perhaps a touch stemmy. But again firm and rather drying on the palate. One of the most tannic wines I have tasted so far and I am not sure it has the fruit to come round. (JH)
