Lovely notes of cherry and dried herbs. Crisp acidity and a clean mid-palate. Outstanding value for the price.

Bright garnet with brick edges. Lovely lifted red berries and violet. Dense and structured, built to age. The finish is long and savoury. A serious wine that rewards patience.

A pale straw gold. Lovely hints of oak, vanilla and tobacco. Concentrated fruit balanced by fine tannin. A warm, lasting finale. Will happily buy again.
