Medium red. Slightly roasted aromas of redcurrant and iron. Sturdy and quite dry, with hints of bitter cherry, spices and flowers, but offering less lift and nuance than the Damodes. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins. This seems to be in a sullen stage today.
Bright, deep red. Sappy black cherry dominates the nose. Sweet and plump in the mouth, with the black cherry flavor perked up by pungent minerals and brown spices and complicated by a saline nuance. Plenty of volume here but not at all heavy. Finishes long, with fine tannins reaching the front teeth.
